What does it mean to live the good life?

[mDarkPoet]

I think that to live a "good life" means to live one with a decent balance of the positive and the negative.

Change. Staticness makes for misery.

Okay I got a really good quote!

This is from Clarence Budington Kelland (1881 - 1964) an author of fiction.

"I believe I have discovered the one great, moving, compelling force which makes every man what he becomes in the end.

This, I believe, is the greatest force in the universe.  I believe all other causes are secondary to it.  It is so powerful that the slightest human effort cannot be put forth until it has done its work; and if it should suddenly be annihlated from the world, all activity would come to a stand still, and humanity would become a mass of automatons moving about in meaningless circles.

This force is not love; it is not religion; it is not virtue; it is not ambition - for none of these could exist an hour without it.... It is imagination."

I believe imagination is greater than money as being a tool to happiness and living the good life, dream it then be it!

Doubting thomas, I've half a mind to think you're definition and annaM's definition match up pretty well. Just from different sides.

I agree, harmony, peace and balance.
