This may sound like a wise crack answer, but I am being serious.
It is to do what it takes to get to the next life which is eternal.
The instruction manual for that is called The Holy Bible.
Peace and kindness,
Fred (arcura)

You got that right brother arcura!

Now I want to add for farooque's sake, since it takes a little time to learn Biblical truths, some recommended reading:

The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. It's well organized and it gives one insight regarding ...What on earth am I here for?

There are more passionate books out there, especially the Bible, But I think this will help. It sold over 10 million copies and it says on the cover...The #1 N.Y. Times Bestseller.
Cheers!

HI,
Since you posted your question in the Religion category, I will answer by saying I am a Christian.
The aim of life of a Christian is to talk with others, and try having them become Christians also. The ultimate aim in life is for love of Jesus Christ.
I do wish you the best.

I think, generally speaking, it's highly individual. If a person has a strong faith in God or spirituality, then as others have said, their aim in life is to serve that God to whatever end their particular religion teaches.

However, there are also many people who don't have a strong belief in God. If these people are very conscious of the suffering of others in the world, then maybe they would consider themselves secular humanists, and so their aim in life would be to make the world a better place. For example, you see many celebrities fighting for women's rights and poverty rights throughout the world. They're not relgious people necessarily, but they have a "cause". If they were only concerned about themselves, then they might be called hedonists, and their aim in life would be to do whatever they wanted, regardless of the feelings of comforts of others.

Personally, I'm undecided about religion at this point, and still searching. And since I'm pregnant, my aim in life at this point is to be a good mother to my baby. I had a rotten childhood myself, so this is really important to me. Religion comes second for now at least.

Do you mean ‘aim’ as in purpose, reason, aspirations, the point of, the plan, etc.?

Your question has no specific answer; it will have not one answer but many depending on who answers your question. Personal conditions as well as religious preferences will determine the different responses….which will be influenced by their own aims in life…not yours, so the answers, might not be as clearly explicit as you expected.

Each person has their own aims, purpose, and motivation in life. All aims and purposes are as valid and valuable as the next one. One or a hundred answers will not give you the exact response that you are seeking, that is if you are searching for answers to your own aim and purpose in life. If you ARE searching for your own aim or purpose, then this is an inquiry that only you can answer.

I cannot tell you what your aim in life is but I can tell you mine and that is to live life as an honest person with gentleness and compassion for those who need it; love and appreciate those who surround me; help whoever I can with whatever I can; share experiences which might lend a hand to someone in need, and above all not to take myself so seriously that I cannot laugh at my mistakes and learn from them. Finally age as gracefully as possible and enjoy the beauty of all that surrounds me before my page is closed.

Life is brief, a quick turn of a page in time; live it as best as you can, love as much and as hard as you can, share that love and appreciates all that surrounds you.

Religion and spiritual fulfillment is for you to find in whatever manner satisfies your aim and purpose in life.

I believe.........................
Mankind’s and womankinds’ main aim in life rests on and in the basics.
1. Survival
2. Survival of the species
3. Food
4. Shelter
5. To serve and be served in regard to the first 4 basics.
All the other needs, wants, and aspirations are a part of the 5.
Peace and kindness,
Fred
