Don’t know how to live? There’s only “one” way to find your way of life.

Lately, when I write blog posts like this, it's my hobby to find words that people are searching for using a tool called Keyword Planner and write about them. It feels like I'm exploring the trends of the world, and it's quite enjoyable.

Among them, I discovered the phrase 'I don't know how to live'.

I really think this is a phrase that everyone gets lost in at some point. But indeed, how you live is incredibly important. It's far more important than future dreams or goals. When we were children, we were often asked, 'What's your dream for the future?', but never 'How do you want to live?'

But actually, what you specifically want to be changes one after another, so 'how you want to live' is more important than dreams. If you don't know how to live, then I truly believe you should find it.

So, specifically, how do you solve 'I don't know how to live'? There's only one way. It's to 'be honest with your own desires'. What kind of life do you truly want to live, what kind of way of living do you want to pursue? Without worrying about appearances or what others say, just grasp your desires and what you want to do.

Be honest with your desires. That's how you find the way of life right in front of you.

In the extreme, 'I don't want to do anything' is also a way of life. If you don't want to do anything, then you should start moving towards a 'life of doing nothing'. You just need to think about how to live a lazy life without doing anything. If, by any chance, you can live even while doing nothing and being lazy, that's truly amazing. In fact, that know-how alone could be worth a considerable amount of money, so you should pursue it thoroughly.

I don't know how to live. That phrase means you're not being honest with the desires in your heart, and as a result of worrying about appearances, social standing, or what others think, you've sealed your desires within your heart. That's why you end up not knowing how to live. You don't need to do that. Social standing or what anyone thinks of you doesn't matter.

Because no matter what way of life it is, even the extreme 'I don't want to do anything' I just mentioned, if you pursue it to its fullest, it becomes a way of life. And there will be various things in the process of realizing such a way of life, and if your way of thinking changes, then you can just think about it again at that time.

Anyway, what's important is not to stop saying 'I don't know how to live', but to be honest with your true desires and push forward. If you expose your desires, start moving, and thoroughly pursue only that, it will come true in time. Trying to make something happen without moving is completely impossible, so please just bear with the act of moving.

But I'm sure it will be fun. When you pursue something and become able to do it, you'll be recognized by those around you, and once your desire for recognition is fulfilled, it will become your purpose in life.

If you're troubled by not knowing how to live, just be honest with yourself. If you expose your desires and start moving, you can at least escape from the state of not knowing how to live. Once you've escaped, then thoroughly research and realize your desires. Once realized, from then on, it's your era.
