The Good Life

                To me, the good life starts with having life and living the best of it each and every day as if it were the last. The good life is having great health without suffering diseases or sicknesses and having strength and energy every day. Having my family living healthy and for a long time in order to be able to enjoy them for as long as possible is most important for me because they are the reason for my happiness and hard work. I wish I could bring all those who passed away in my family back to life in order to feel that satisfaction of having a good life. The good life is having great friends such as the ones I have now and also meeting new people, creating more friendships that are built with trust, confidence and care. My friends have always been there for me from the good times and even the worst times that I can recall. Without them, life would be much harder. The support one receives from friendship is like no other that will get you through thick and thin but most of all, will make you feel grateful in having those friendships in your life. But the most important thing in life that makes it good is love. Without any kind of love in your life, you might as well be dead. I mean love in people, in art, in music, in food, in animals, in anything in the world. Love might just be the most powerful feeling and/or emotion in the world that if you don’t have it, then you won’t love life.  Falling in love with a person is living the good life because you experience particular things with a certain person that just makes the whole thing magical and unique. Then there are the little things that make life good such as food and being able to taste and eat all that is delicious. Having music and hearing all types of rhythms and dancing to it, which to me either doesn’t exist without the other. Traveling the whole world and seeing every corner of every country and meeting different cultures is also part of living a good life. Having money is important but to live a good life, as long as I have enough to live comfortably and help those around me, I would be more than happy. Another important thing in living a good life is my goals that I wish to complete such as continuing to study and finish my career to become a teacher and help those children who need a special education. Nothing will make me feel more complete than helping as many people as I can.

                It’s a few people that actually live a good life, but for me there have always been obstacles that block the good in good life. There are many things in society today that can become factors to not having a good life such as ambition for the wrong things, drugs, addictions and diseases. Many of these things end up finishing up the existence of a life. It’s hard to live a good life because there are things that you cannot dodge in life such as death. But if you follow your dreams and become ambitious for love, care and intelligence then you will definitely lead a good life.
