Well its good to try new things and live life as if its an adventure, but I'm not sure thats the best way to find fulfillment in life. The way I see it there are 2 ways to approach the problem:
The first is to find out what is meaningful through a process of elimination - which you seem to have tried. Set some goals, try new stuff, move on if it doesnt work out. The danger is that you may live a life of trying everything but finding nothing satisfying.
The second approach is to first determine what is meaningful to you (through a process of introspection etc) and use this to develop a good direction, which should at some point dove-tail with very meaningful and fulfilling pursuits. What is meaningful to a person may evolve over the course of ones life but eith this approach we'll always be living in concert with our real values and principles - and that means always having self-respect and probably achieving our desires to live meaningful, purposeful lives.
