Have a conversation with yourself and perhaps some trusted friends about what constitutes a good, purposeful, and joy-filled life. Focus on a few of those things and try to make one or two moves in their direction every day. Repeat this practice for fifty years, and I promise you will have “lived a good life.” It won’t be good luck, a lottery ticket, or a sleight of hand, but rather hourly, undistracted focus and several good daily habits that will get you there.
