I’ve started this blog with one purpose: to track my search for the “Good Life.” What exactly that is, I’m still not sure. What I’ve discovered so far is what is definitely not the Good Life. Those are:
- Impressing others
- Earning a whole lot of money
- Possessing a vast assortment of things
While there may be a correlation between happy people and these bullet points, solely seeking these out does not lead to greater happiness and thus, the Good Life. You may be happy, wealthy, and have earned the respect of your peers, but these are by-products of your other endeavors. In other words, happiness I hypothesize comes from contentment and inner peace, not from owning too many toys. Like a “No Fear” T-shirt I witnessed many years ago (at least I think it was “No Fear”), “He who dies with the most toys…still dies.”
So, please, join me in reading my blog as I pursue the “Good Life.” Feel free to comment if you want. Peace be with you.
