I believe in order to live a well-fulfilled life we must achieve our goals and take risks. We must try new things and do things to please yourself and not others. We must take pride in our work and have work-ethic, we must educate ourselves to the best of our abilities. We must laugh and cry. We must experience everything and anything so that we know what it feels like. We must love our work and wake up in the morning willingly. We must be kind and have loving relationships. Living well isn't defined by how much money we make or how much better you are then the next person. It's defined by the way you savor every moment you have, by realizing that life is a gift. Living well can also be defined as: live like there is no tomorrow, meaning take risks, experience life to the fullest. “Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live.” - Margaret Fuller
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” - Oscar Wilde
Living well can tend to confuse people because there are several perspectives to living well.
Some believe money is the key to a well lived life. While others know money isn't everything yet they chase success anyways. Others, less fortunate, financially, can be more wealthy than those with more money in terms of happiness. There are many ways to measure a person's wealth. One of the more common ways can be money but, we can also compare happiness.
How do we determine a life well-lived, must we be selfish to live a life well-lived?

hey this was actually really deep. haha I love how one writing can inspire us so much
Must we be selfish to live a life well-lived? I don't necessarily think so. Sure yes, you gotta look out for number one, but also keep in mind that your family, friends, loved ones have common goals. If your goal is the provide what's best for your family, it's no longer a selfish goal.
Also, I agree that there are many ways to gauge wealth, but aren't there many ways to measure happiness?
