Don't Ask What You Can Expect From Life, Ask What Life Can Expect From You Instead

First of all, asking for meaning in life is an act of passiveness. Suppose life will grant us a purpose but we have to wait a really long time, what are we going to do while waiting? Are we actively reaching out to life or waiting for the purpose to be granted to us?
Many people has put it beautifully "The meaning of life is to give life meaning". I also want to ask myself this question, what would i do if I'm lost in a place of nowhere, would I wander around and do all the things that i think could help me out or standing there till the point that I'm hungry and realize that i have to find something to eat? By this, i realize that the purpose that life gives us is not special, only enough to make us live a desperate life, but what we make out of life is truly special.
I think that the power is in our hand to decide, we don't want to find excuse to avoid the work that must be done then pass it down to the younger generation.
