    That seems to be a simple yet profound question. And probably there are many answers that will leave you empty, such as “here and now” or “following our dreams” or “evolving” which I understand they wouldn’t help you if you didn’t come to those answers by yourself.

    But… the question “How Should We Live Life?” makes me ask myself other questions…

    First question: why should we need a certain way to live life?
    Maybe because we want something. So maybe we should live our life pursuing what we want. And I believe what we want can be found at different levels, from basic needs to spiritual realizations.

    Second question: Should Everybody live their life in a certain way?
    Probably not, as long as the way one lives their live doesn’t hurt the way others live theirs.

    Third question: Should everybody ask themselves how should they live their life?
    Probably they will eventually, so there is no need to force them.

    But the more important question probably is: why we are asking ourselves how should we live our life?
    In my opinion 2 are the cases:
    1) we are doing something “wrong”, we are dealing our life in a way that doesn’t make us happy, maybe we made the “wrong” choiches, maybe choiches suggested by the people around us or by some limiting believes instead of choosing what we really want.
    2) we are awakening to a new purpose in our life.

    So the question “How should we live life?” can be turned in my opinion into “what we really want?”
    (if it can’t, I think there are some limiting believes in place)

    So, if we know what we really want we can live our lives accordingly. Or have a plan to achieve that. Or change what we believe is what we want, ’cause – I believe – in no way we can be wanting something that we cannot achieve (es. I want a Ferrari… b*llsh*t! I want the feeling I “wrongly” believe only a Ferrari can give me… or something like that…)

    If we don’t know what we really want… probably we want to know what we really want. And that can be the start of a great journey of self discovery.
    So in this case the answer to “How Should We Live Life?” would be “Know thyself!”

    This was just my train of thoughts regarding this. Hope you enjoyed it a little bit! 🙂
    But most of all I hope it helped you at least a little bit with your feeling of emptyness, ’cause I think I know the feeling: probably we should search ourselves, along the internet, when we are craving for this kind of answers. 🙂
