Evolve, Survive, and Reproduce - is this the Meaning of Life?

Evolving, surviving, and reproducing
appear to be the rule of nature..

Most animal and human behaviors,
be they conscious or unconscious,
appear to revolve around these three characteristics..

Is this the Meaning of Life?

Is man an end product of nature,
or merely a stepping stone to something greater,
perhaps a greater manimal that's yet to be fully realized?

Upon close examination of human history,
I can only conclude that man has a long way to go..

Throughout history, the creatures that appeared to survive and thus carry on
were the ones who could adapt and become better than they originally were.

What do you do to make yourself better than you are?
Are you thriving or merely surviving, and why?
