It is an odd concept, all the more so because "life" is essentially just a sequence of events spanning a lifetime, and the only common factor is the mind of the person experiencing those events.
Life as a whole would therefore have multiple, sometimes contradictory meanings because of our reactions to the different things that have happened to us over the years. We could therefore consider one particular event to be very meaningful, and a thousand others (say, having oatmeal for breakfast this morning) to be completely inconsequential.
Put into context of reproduction and evolution, all life has meaning. But something tells me you guys want something more personal.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
