If someone asked you to describe a good life, how would you answer that question? I believe all of us would answer that question in somewhat different ways, and to answer that question for yourself helps to lead you in positive directions.
For me, I'd define the good life as a life with these attributes.
Positive relationships
To have a good life, I believe you need at least a few good relationships. Those relationships are marked by trust, joy, love, peace, positive challenge, support, and good times.
Inspiring, beautiful natural spaces
Nature inspires us in significant ways. To spend good time in nature leads to good living.
Positive, life enriching endeavor
When you engage in activities that enrich your life and the lives of others, that helps you to have a good life. Seek ways to invest your time and energy in positive, life enriching endeavor.
Joy
Joyful times that bring out the best of you helps you to have a good life. What events in life truly make you feel fully human and alive--engage in those kinds of events often.
Comfort and peace
Living in a space that brings you comfort and peace helps you to have a good life. When you can relax in a warm, welcoming place, your life is better.
Growth and development
Good living for me is living that leads me ahead, living that includes positive growth and development. I love to learn and I like to get better.
Simplicity
I like a simple life not a life cluttered with too many objects and obligations.
Good health
To be as healthy as possible helps you to live well.
I'll continue to think about how I define the good life, and as I understand that, I'll work to create that kind of life in the ways that I can. Onward.
