For many, they would easily choose to extend their existence on earth by many years, and even centuries. This is because they are afraid of what happens on the other side of life - the fear of the unknown. But embracing your mortality is the first step in finding your true life's meaning.
Some live their lives as they go, with no sense of purpose or even trying to find it. Those kinds of individuals are those who will choose to live longer at any given moment, they would choose to be immortal over everything. But this mentality bears no real fruits when it comes to one finding his or her life's purpose.
Understanding and embracing that you are a mere mortal, and not being so fearful of that is what will guide you into finding your purpose. It is what will steer you into finding your life's meaning.
Why?
Because you would spend your days on earth working on your purpose or trying to find it, and working on things that are worthwhile for your ultimate happiness.
Therefore, whatever your purpose and your meaning is, is what will outlive you, hence you will not be afraid of death. You cannot be impressed by the idea of immortality when you know your life's meaning, and live your days living it.
If you have not found the purpose of your existence, begin embracing that you are a mere mortal, and to make your days of existence more fulfilling, you ought to find your reason for existence.
We are all mortal beings, and therefore our true life's meaning is attached to this fact.
