Is it a life that produces a cure for a disease?
Is it a life that propels us into living "our best life now"?
Is it a life where you have received love from others?
Is it a life where there is no rain or storms?
Is it a life that seeks only the good of others but at the expense of the person living it?
Is it a life where smiling is the hallmark sign of living?
Is it a life where food, shelter and clothing are present?
What is a Good Life?
Is it a life where one reads on a beach, sipping a cold drink?
Is it a life carpooling kids from one activity to the next with occasional rest?
Is it a life laying on the ground watching the stars in the night and the birds in the sky during the day?
Is it a life surrounded by peace and tranquility?
Is it a life with yearnings and longings?

Is it a life that may be hidden between book covers ready for the next person to read?
Is it a life of service or striving?
Is it a life worth living? Yes, yes it is.

But is a good life...a God life? Meaning, if you get all you want or long for and yet God was never in it, the very Creator who brought you to life, then is it really good?
If you live a life of service to your fellow human beings, yet never take the time to connect to the Being who has all the answers and who comforts beyond reasoning, then is it really good? I can see that it could be good, but it is still missing the essential-God.
