Each one has a different yardstick to measure the pleasures that life gives them, some are those who are happy with whatever they have and find that they have a good life, there are others who are never satisfied and keep on cribbing and wanting more. It is unfortunate but such people can never find true happiness.
We should take time off from our busy schedule to appreciate what we have so that we are aware that it is really a good life and not as bad as we make it out to be. Often while in school life seems cumbersome and full of studies and rules to follow. Once we outgrow this stage we realize that, that was a happy go lucky period with no responsibilities as our parents had to take care of all that.
People sometimes live beyond their means and are never happy with what they earn. Such people are either in debt or are always wishing for luxuries which they do not own. They forget that half the world is longing for a job and would look at these people and find that they have such a good life.
By achieving our goals we feel happy but soon forget what we have in hand and the good life we are leading to want something else and be dissatisfied with our present state of affairs. Learning to appreciate the present is really necessary to be happy in life.
Once you land a job it is not long before you are cribbing about the long hours, the horrible boss and the difficult colleagues. Those who have retired from their jobs and do not have the regular routine which they had at one time wish they were back in that period which was a good life hard work and all.
It is pretty much the same when the kids arrive and you long for a single peaceful nights sleep with no getting up to sort out stomach cramps and soothe a night mare away. Once they grow up and go their way you want the good life which you had with them clinging to you for support.
You can think about your life as a good life when you are in a position to help a needy friend or relative and find that you have enough and can share it with someone else. You may not be a wealthy person but when there is something extra after taking care of all your own needs then you are rich. This may not be in the worldly materialistic sense, but in a way where you have been given the opportunity to share whatever you have.
People who have someone to share their life with and who can reach out and hold the hand of their old parents and comfort them have a good life because they have been given the chance to show their parents that they care. There are many who are orphaned and have never known their parents and would love to be in the position which you are in and now and have a good life like yours.
