What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

For me it is the simple inexpensive things needed to have a truly good life:

1. Faith in God.

2. Hope for tomorrow.

3. Love for others.

Faith in God is essential for me because I can’t imagine trying to navigate through life making all the decisions based on my own wisdom. I have faith after years of trusting and seeing His guidance and goodness in my life.

Hope for tomorrow. Depression is the definition of hopelessness. I swam in the waters of depression and know the hollow hell it causes in one’s mind. Hope through faith in God rescued me from those dark drowning waters.

Love for others. For years I believed having others love me was the key to happiness. I now realize loving others with healthy boundaries brings great peace and satisfaction in life.

A good life for me is living in peace with my God, myself and others.
