What is the good life?

A good life is finding your own meaning.

That brings fulfilment.

The good life is a happy life, and happiness means different things to different people.

I think of it like this: people are both similar and different from one another at the same time, like sports equipment. If a football tried to do what a baseball did, it wouldn't be very effective. If a basketball tried to do what a football did, it wouldn't do very well either..

The thing that all of these have in common though, is they are used in sport, even though what each of them does is very different.

In my humble opinion then, I say everyone wishes for a happy life, but how people achieve happiness will be different as long as people are different.

Besides that though, I do believe the basic equation behind the happy life is as follows, regardless of people's differences: Get what you want, and avoid what you don't want.

You could get a million different answers to that question. Everybody has their own feelings about what is fulfilling and makes them happy.

Strip yourself of all the crap that has been heaped on you since childhood. Travel, find a place where you can be yourself and learn from the locals what is really important. Anywhere that has an average yearly income over 2500 dollars is not worth your time. Immerse yourself in Nature. Seek out that person inside that can tell you what you really want to do, now that you are in an environment that is conducive to doing it. Prepare yourself for the thrill of your life.

Satisfaction, fulfillment and tranquility, while being kind and generous to others.

Just being happy and satisfied with what you have.
