Life is an oppurtunity for us to gain conscious and to gain wisdom. Throughout our life, our goals and pursuits will differ, we will take different path that leads to the same ends, thus we all have a different idea of what makes life good. But there are few ideals that all should pursue in order to achieve a meaningful life.
The pursuit of knowledge is one of the many greatest. Not only does it increases your conscious to the world around you, but you will gain insights and wisdom that keeps ignorance at bay while achieving a purpose. Knowledge is power, and it is the force that shines light on the unknowns of our life, giving us a purpose to live in harmony by shedding our fear of the unknown.
Do not be afraid of death. The fear of death often makes one to seek methods of preventing death, and such audacious pursuit is what will destroy your life. Live you transient life in peace and happiness, not in fear or apprehension.

A good life, in my opinion is a life that is stable with an excellent balance of health, peace, tranquility and prosperity. Never to be left out are good friends and a strong, supportive family. The maintenance of a good life isn't always up to us as there are conditions that challenge the ways of a good life. We lose loved ones, sometimes we get sick, lose our jobs or have environmental circumstances that wreck our peace and tranquility. In such circumstances how we continue to make the best of life is pretty much up to us. We try to keep our lives under control and not become reckless by turning over to liquor, drugs and malicious behavior. Then we have to just go with the flow.

no, makes it more intresting. setting goals makes you more stronger and have more patience and along the way gettin there you have fun. if you think you are settin yourself for dissapointment, you're crazy. you're settin yourself for dissapointment when you find out you haven't set yourself goals and have done nothing with your life in 3rd grade, I told the teacher I wanted to be a photographer and travel the world, and I'm doing it this summer. Iv'e already was in a world record and met some pretty cool people along the way, so no, it doesn't make anything difficult...I mean if you cant except a challenge, then I guess that's you.

I think a good life is the life where someone has a good interaction with peoples around him/her. A good life also got from the experiences that the people has felt, so there is a spirit at the people to get better life. Things that make a life good such as; experience, support of family, good communication, and there is no disease at the people

Happy people usually say “life is good”, so to achieve a good life one has to find happiness first, and to achieve happiness one has to find inner peace first. So what brings one inner peace?
I’m not sure about others but, I find inner peace in faith, loving God, loving others, believing in one self, forgiveness, hard working, and high morals.
Accordingly, I imagine that the following are required to develop and maintain a good life.
1.praying/meditating
2.doing your best in any field you are in
3.taking care of yourself without being self-centered
4.treating others in the best way you know

Doing what you have to do to make your life completely happy and not worrying about other people or their thoughts at all. Self actualization , knowing what you did is for your own good and not hurting yourself because of someone else.

Being happy with who you are makes a life good. It sounds cliche, but it's true for me. Setting goals and reaching them and then making new ones, while never feeling like you aren't good enough. Like you are happy with who you are but you don't want to become complacent. Being able to stand on your own because you want to, not because you have to. Being able to make your own choices on how to grow--the freedom to make mistakes. Doing work that you love, making your own little piece in the world.

It's the desire to feel important. Once we realize that there is no meaning of life we desire to give our lives meaning. By have people remember us or leaving some sort of legacy, we were able to give meaning to our lives. Perhaps that is why you phrased the question the way you did. In hopes that people would answer you to secure a spot in your bibliography..
