I feel I fall somewhere between those two ends.

Depends on what you mean by living life. I try to live a spiritual life, but fall far short of that. Don't we all?

"Depends on what you mean by living life"
IMO there is only one life. How we live it is another story.
Some don't live life, they just exist.
I live a boring, mundane life. We rarely go anywhere other than necessary stuff... doctors, supermarkets etc. But that's how we like it.

For some living life is having fun. For me being spiritual is living life.

Living life to me is living life while I can. Doing what brings happiness and fulfillment and making memories with my family.
I refuse to be like cattle that just eat, poop and exist until they die.
If living life spiritual, I guess living preparing for what is next fulfills you, then you are living life.
I'm a waste of good breathing air, except when im not.
You make me laugh. That's worth something isn't it?

I don’t take up much space.
I had my annual* physical about a week and a half ago, and according to what they tell me, I'm living. If I wasn't breathing, I probably wouldn't be living. And if I'm living, logic dictates that I have a life. I take up roughly 3 square feet.
I am, so I exist, breathing or not.

How do you calculate that?
Just one life? Whose story do you see me living?
According to whose story?
Length times width.
I suppose, though, if we're talking actual space, we should incorporate a third dimension. So I'll revise my answer to roughly 17 cubic feet.
Is it no fun being spiritual? If not, what's the point?
I'm not equally wide, gut is considerably wider than most other regions.
Who are you to say what brings happiness and fulfillment for others? What if they are perfectly happy and fulfilled eating, pooping, and existing?
I would assume people who eat, poop, and exist are making memories of eating, pooping, and existing. What makes your memories better than or superior to those of these people?
Living a spiritual life, as I see it, isn't necessarily living for preparing for what next fulfills you.
I am a spiritual being living a human life.
Dad-bod dimensions were taken into consideration in my response.
The vegetation of this world celebrates you...as do those who eat, poop, and exist. I can't speak for those who are "living life," though.
