What are the most important things needed to live a good life?
A good life is not just about having money, fame and wealth it all about being a decent human being. Caring not only for your goals and dreams and passions but also for the needs of those around. Living a good life requires a willing heart to serve, self discipline to achieve your God given talents and goals, and trust in the Almighty God. Living a good life means a life full of fulfillment where at the end of the day you go home with your heart full of joy and enthusiasm to live another day.
Willing heart to serve is an important drive to live a good life. A heart to serve just one person and make a difference in their lives. Life it’s not all about ourselves it’s involves more than self to have a good life. Other people’s needs are also important. A story is told of a man who was going about his business but this fine day they were funding money to buy some wheelchairs for some disabled children. He thought it was just like any other charity organizations but this one was different he had an experience like no other. There was this young boy who was looking at him so much when he drew nearer the boy said let me look at you one more time so that I will remember your face when I meet you in heaven to thank you one more time. The man left there his heart full joy and fulfillment like no other. You don’t have to make a difference in millions people’s lives but you can make a difference in one person’s life.
Self discipline is being able to push yourself to achieve that one thing that’s in you till you get results. Self discipline requires determination and consistency. Pushing yourself not only when you see the results but even when the results are not visible. A story is told of children who were stuck with behind a door and they were looking for way to get out they planned that each of them will be hitting the door at a time. They all started but they started feeling like all there efforts were in vain until when this little boy pushed and the door opened they didn’t believe their eyes. It took one more hit and another more and the push but all their efforts bore fruits but they had to keep pushing. It might be just one more meeting, one more phone call, one more job interview, one more project , one more day to keep trying that will give you that good life that you deserve if only you keep pushing. Just do it one more time an more and more and you will be amazed at the results you will get.
Trust in God. This i believe is the ultimate guide to having a good life. God had a purpose of the life we want to live. If only we call upon him for guidance and let Him show us the way. We will see imposibles becoming possible. For with Him nothing is impossible. Good life without God it’s nothing. Trust Him to be the guide and you sure will have a good life, miracles will become your foretaste. If Abraham leaved the world of known to unknown He didn’t know the plan but He knew the planner. Trust where He is taking you, you don’t have to know the plan just be ready and willing to listen to God and you sure will have a good life.

Much too often, people think they would have a better life when being rich. Money is not the assurance for a good life.
When living according to the Laws of God, we shall have fewer troubles and by trusting Him fully we shall not have so many serious worries. By falling and standing up, going through life, and reaching an age were we can say that we did try our best, then we shall find fulfilment and be aware that by being alongside God’s Way we could build up the best life, also being assured of a still better life to come.
