A good life is one where we fulfill our mission, where we discover our purpose, find what we are here to do and DO IT! A good life is one where we make a difference!

Good thoughts. Bob, I agree with you about not having worries. Having a social media diet is one thing that really helps with this. It’s amazing how little news and information out there you really need. As Tim Ferriss implied, let others read and watch the news. If you need to then know something, just ask them instead.

What’s a god life for me? I think it centers around two central things, independence and minimal worries. When I think of independence, I think it begins with financial independence. What would my life be like if I didn’t owe anyone money (car, house, etc.) and was not limited to work that just pays the bills. As for minimal worries, we are faced every day with real worries (health, job, etc.) and contrived worries (just read the paper – it’s their job to scare us). A truly good life is one of increased independence and minimal worries (especially the contrived kind).

Olivier yes, creation is so important. If I don’t feel productive in a day, like I’ve contributed in some way to society, my family, and myself, I end up feeling very uncreative.

A good life for me is a life of creation. Creation of moments, of history, of meaning. A good life is creation using the structures of the past without getting stuck in them. In a way, it’s the appropriation of one’s own perspective on life, created in the interaction with others.
