920 Words4 Pages

Good life is a life with purpose. It is a life where you make the most of everything in any kind of situation, be it good or bad, where in the toughest of times you stay calm, collected and are able to perceiver through. It is a life journeyed through with family, friends and other loved ones. It is one where you don't regret the decisions you make and do not think about what it would have been had you done something differently, i.e. it is a life without any ‘what ifs’. To be loved and to be able to love is a crucial part of having a good life. A good life is something that everyone wants to have or achieve without really realizing that they might already have one. Through this essay I want to show people that the ‘good’ aspect in good life can be something so small that it is often overlooked but can make your life that much better. It is the small things that make life good rather than the large extravagant ones. Firstly, the most important factor in having a good life is love, happiness and …show more content…

It is a state of mind. Everyone wants to live a good life, but for most people this does not happen due to self-created problems and circumstances. People blame luck or external factors for their unhappy life conditions and do not try to change it. They only wallow in self pity. You can choose to have a good life and work hard towards achieving it or you can give up halfway. Quoting Joel Osteen “Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you're doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you”. It is when you notice and focus on what you have in life and be thankful for those little things, will you truly be on the path of attaining a good life.

    I want to be able to say that I lived a life with love, happiness, and faith. Additionally, not only do I want to be able to claim the above points for myself, I want my fellow peers to be able to do the same. Life cannot be all about the good, with the good comes some bad.

    You need to forgive yourself to be truly happy because you can’t be mad with yourself or filled with guilt from your actions or lack thereof and be content with life. You can't get rid of your own thoughts so there will always be a constant reminder of what you are holding in. People who feel guilt over their actions or something they wished they did differently will be mad at themselves. You can’t feel anger towards yourself and be truly happy. The anger will always be within them unless they learn to forgive themselves for what they have done.

  • Aristotle Good Life Analysis

    1839 Words  | 8 Pages

    In this essay, I will be discussing Aristotle’s conception of the “good life” which he outlined in the Nicomachean Ethics. As we will see, the “good life” for man according to Aristotle is one where we perform the particular activity which is distinctly ours and guides us towards eudaimonia – sometimes translated as ‘happiness’ or ‘well-being’. He shows us how the other conflicting depictions of the ‘good life’ are misguided, and how we should aim for a life of reason. First, however, I will discuss briefly what Aristotle meant by the term ‘good’ and then move on to how he arrived at the conclusion on human happiness. Aristotle believes that the ‘good life’ for a particular organism depends on what that organism is and the conditions it requires
