The good life

What are the most important things needed to live a good life? – A nice question for a Sunday from the daily writing prompt.

I would start with health obviously. Without that most other things are difficult to enjoy. Next would be love. Having children and grandchildren has been a nice touch. Some important work or passion. Maybe fortunate enough to live in a nice climate or go to one. Good and plentiful food.

Great friends that bring laughter and support, while you give back the same and more. The ability and desire to learn.

Live a long time and have nothing but great memories to reflect on in your final days or moments that leave a smile on your face.

Good Life

What are the most important things needed to live a good life? – The Daily Writing prompt inquires.

I imagine the “good life” means a lot of different things to many different people.

The first thing I think of is having your health. It’s something a lot of us take for granted. But for those who are ill, it’s the first thing they would say would lead to a good life again.

Love is next on the list for my good life. Love makes life wonderful. Family, friends, pets – find someone or something to love. Life is very difficult and without love.

Finding your passions. Be it a job, a hobby, or a cause. If you’re doing something you love, life is more rewarding.

Have an appreciation for what you have been given and find the humor and laughter in life.

The good life depends on your perspective and outlook. Photo by Mike Hartley
