Define a "good" Life...

In my perspective I find that a good life is one where you incorporate core values that are important to you: e.g. Charity, Empathy, Respect etc. follow your core values as well as following your dreams. It's by doing this that you can live your life the best possible.

When you live a good life you're not only empathetic but charitable. Empathy is when you can put yourself in the other person’s shoes. That's very important but it isn't quite enough. I mean, sure you understand how he/she feels, but it doesn't mean you're making a difference about it. When you're charitable you are able to give to those in need, as well as understanding how they feel in their current position. Being charitable doesn't mean giving up everything you have; people don't actually expect that much from you. You just have to give what you can.

An example of a person with this empathetic and charitable trait is Mother Teresa. She followed her dreams and is now a well-known nun who for over 45 years helped the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion. Mother Teresa was charitable and gave up her life to help others in India and later on around the world. She made a difference by following her dreams.

A person close to me (i.e. MY MOM) once said: "A good life is a life lived to the fullest." When you live your life to the fullest, you follow your dreams and you don't look back, so there are no regrets. Just going forward, and making what you can of your life today. You make the most of your life by doing what you want to do with your life.
