“Many people die at 25 and aren’t buried until they are 75.” — Benjamin Franklin
I’ve been asking people what their definition is of The Good Life.
I think it’s important, so you know what it is when you’ve got it, or you know what is is that you’re chasing, so you can make smarter choices.
3 Keys to Living the Good Life
At dinner the other night, a friend of mine put the good life in very simple terms:
- Freedom to spend more time in your values.
- Freedom to spend more time in your priorities.
- You know what you want.
It’s surprisingly simple and surprisingly true, especially the more you move up Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
It also resonates perfectly with one of my mentor’s cutting question to guide my career:
“What do you want to spend more time doing?”
Here’s to living YOUR Good Life.
