"The Good Life?"
What is the "good life?" According to Richard Leider, living the "good life" means "living in the place you 'belong,' with the people you love, doing work that benefits others." Leider reminds us that since people are living longer today, planning for the purpose that they will want to achieve later in life is essential.
While it may seem as if this is all common sense and that it happens naturally, members of the Sage-ing Guild among others do not think so. Sure, some people might intuitively just "get it." But for most people, living a life of purpose and with passion takes some time to process. The key words in this process are:
- intention
- choice
- conscious
- aware
- deliberate
- focus
- presence
- gratitude
Having enough money to satisfy needs is important. Having your health is helpful. But the key to the good life centers on relationships, community, and purpose.
