How to not focus on death on a daily basis and live life?

Lately, I have realized that were all going to die, and basically everything we do or strive for in this world is pretty much meaningless. I am not emo or depressed or anything but I just want to have someone help me see the greatness in life without dwelling on the fact that in the long run its meaningless.

1. "Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" John 11:25-26 The moment you begin to believe this, the matter will be resolved. "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal....We live by faith, not by sight." II Corinthians 4:16-18; 5:7
2. Yet another individual who doesn't get how to live. It's not about dying it's about HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE. Your legacy is what will allow you to carry on regardless of the finite nature of being human. At the end of the day if you strive to live a life that is good, kind, loving, caring and leave positive memories those memories will enable you to continue living past your death. So I suggest that you start now with helping others where possible and working hard not to hurt anyone in the process of your proceeding through life. Get out there and enjoy just don't do it at others expense. PEACE!
3. Death is your friend. It makes you appreciate life. Carlos Castaneda asserts that death rests on your left shoulder. All it need do is reach out and touch you at any point and time and your life is over. Eat each meal as if it is your last. Talk to each friend as though it were your last conversation. Appreciate each day as though it were your last. Notice each breath of air because your life can be shut off at any time and in any place. This is the very truth of your existence. This is the nature of all life. Noticing this and admitting this to ourselves sets us free.
