The interpretation of 'life'

webster's new world college dictionary says

'life' 13 the source of vigor or liveliness [the life of the party]


Is it right for me to interpret that into [the party produces a vigorous mood / they are in a mood of liveliness because of the party] i.e., The party is a cause and life a result... Am I clear?

No. Consider this example, She was the life of the party. Here, "life" roughly means star" of the party.
