Living a good Life

by Sean Flynn

What can be considered as a good life differs from one person to another. What may seem to be a good life to me, may not be a good life to you. However, in looking at this topic, I have considered more of the immaterial things compared to the material ones.

Your family is important. Some people fail to grasp the importance of family in any person's life. It is only when they face a huge crisis that they realize that no one is with them except members of their long-ditched families. To have a good life, develop strong bonds with your family members so that you may have close relationships with each other.

Develop real friends. Always go for quality over quantity. I heard someone say that if you can count your friends on both hands, then you need to do away with some of them. Though I may not fully agree with such sentiments, there is much truth in what the person said. A good life is not determined by the number of people who would like to party with you, but by the number of those who will stick with you in case of a crisis.

Develop a relationship with your creator to have a good life. Sometimes when I look at people who see no value in life and have no reason to live, in most cases, I see someone who does not have a thriving relationship with God. This is because without God, life can be a very meaningless endeavor. If we fail to have this relationship with God, we may end up being unaware of our purpose in life.

Set your goals. If you have certain goals in life, it is easier to be contended when you know why you are where you are. It is a common saying, but it is true - an unexamined life is not worth living. Having goals will help you keep track of what you are doing and you won't be in panic once you see how far other people have reached in their own definition of a good life.

Maintain a positive outlook of life. The best thing to do in life is to always keep your mind focused on the positive things. A good mind will guide you towards a good life. If you fail to observe that tip, you may end up having a miserable life. If something negative happens to you, stop asking yourself "why me" instead , ask yourself "what next?"

Make your contributions and have a good life. It is important that you are always ready to help where you can. Know that there is a very big fulfillment that comes with helping other people in the society. Don't be thinking about yourself all the time. Instead, look at the various ways in which you can build your life through helping those who are around you and need your help.

Don't be an escapist. Whenever people get bogged down by the issues of life, they usually go ahead and make trouble. They find themselves in things that actually harm them more. Many engage in destructive habits such as pornography, sexual immorality, drugs and so forth. Such things will not help you and no matter how much the people doing them pretend to be happy, they are not living a good life.

Remember always to count your blessings. From whatever angle you look at it, it is easy to conclude that life ahs been very unfair to you and that you don't have a good life. However, if you look at the things that you have, you can see how blessed you have been. You probably know the story of the guy who constantly complained about the lack of shoes until the day he saw someone without legs. If you choose, you can see that simply having legs is in itself a plus to having a good life.
