Without getting into a bunch of hoop a dos (ya I just made that up) you can solve this 1 of 2 ways (that I'm aware of) by believing in either, or both of
1. Souls or something goes on after death
2. Every action has far reaching consequences, called the butterfly effect I think (i.e. what you do with your life will affect humanity throughout its lifespan.)
If neither of those are true, then there is no meaning to life.
I can't see away around it, if your actions have little to no consequence then your life has no meaning to the universe/humanity as awhole. And if your actions ultimately don't effect you after you die (no soul) then they don't matter either.
