Wouldn't it be ironic if the meaning of life was to ponder about the meaning of life?
In that case, as we've asked ourselves the question already, wouldn't that mean that there is no purpose for us anymore?

To live it to the fullest. Now, that may vary from person to person; many people are perfectly happy in their mundane lives, and some are not. Our purpose for being here is to live, and learn, and make merry, and be good people. Make a difference. That is the meaning of life to me.

Actually, I always thought the beauty of existentialism was that it put paid to this question quite quickly:
What is the meaning of Life? None, the only certainty of life is that it ends. Any meaning that you seek, you must seek for yourself.
So choose. And make meaningful choices. Or is this just a Sartrean view?

I compare a well lived life with the well lived day. At the end of a good day, you feel satisfied and ready to sleep. Similarly, at the end of a good life, you will feel ready to die.
I think the meaning of life is to organize the way you live life in such a way that you feel satisfied with it when your time comes to an end. This means concretedly, organizing your days as if they were your last. One day it will be!
And what if nothing has meaning for you? I went through a period when this was true for me. Eventually though, I got out of it, I'm not sure really how. I'd recommend troubleshooting the problem by writing about what exactly is bothering you and coming up with plans. But really, God knows - the meaning of life is a complex problem with no ready solutions that can apply to everyone. It's about you and something will click, but what will click can only be seen by some form of revelation or time.
This site is kind of interesting. It may stimulate some fruitful thought about the meaning of life:
