What is a life well-lived?
This article published in Psychology Today, shared 20 quotes as possible answers to this question. ~
I was disappointed. You would think psychologists or psychiatrists who study the human mind and behavior would be able to give you a plain direct answer.
I found another quote on Tumblr and I agree with this quote more than all of those other quotes in the article.
“A life well-lived is something to celebrate.” (rosemarydanielis.com )
It's a nice quote. But it sort of still doesn't answer the question.
How would you answer the question: What is a life well-lived?
I woke up this morning in kind of a sober and philosophical mood. I'm asking other people because I don't know the answer to this question. All I know is that I'm past 50 years and I have already lost friends and family. My number will eventually be called and I was kind of hoping to know the answer by then.

that is a great question - one of those let me think questions.
For me, the answer is simply, that you, while living, provide others with hope!

In my thoughts, a well lived life is one of peace.
It is so valuable.
Health is too, but health goes downhill fast with no peace.
