What makes a good life a 'good life'?
Meaning, purpose, and striving for something ‘bigger’ is a key element of happiness theory in positive psychology, and the ‘M’ in Seligman’s PERMA model (Seligman, 2004). Along with positive emotion, relationships, engagement, and accomplishment (which goals allow for), it makes up what we’ve come to known as ‘The Good Life’.
Why is progress important?
Progress has many dimensions. For primitive countries of the world, it signifies a reduction extension of literacy. For the developed world, limit and in which infant mortality has fallen can read and write, progress entails improvements is no longer enough.
Is life getting better in modern society?
One of the issues in this ongoing debate is the quality-of-life in modern society. 1 Progress optimists believe that we live better now than earlier generations, while pessimists argue that life is getting worse. The idea that life is getting better draws on several achievements of modern society.
Should you reassess your life goals?
Although there’s no harm in reassessing her goals, the main takeaway is that she should not increase the difficulty of her task (s) beyond what is achievable or realistic—or she may become overwhelmed. Inherently, life goals need to be meaningful, and meaning is subjective.

Have a Conversation with God
To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing. — Martin Luther Foundations are important. And they are important for this sim-ple reason: A foundation determines how big, how strong, and how successful something can be. For example, if you had the opportunity to build the home of your dreams— with a bedroo
Talking to God
think some people don’t begin their day talking to God because they don’t realize what a great honor and privilege it is to be invited to do so. am purposely using the terminology “talk to God” and “have a conversation with God” in this chapter, rather than the word “prayer” exclusively, because that is what prayer is. I think we hear so often that
Listening for God’s Voice
Since a conversation involves talking and listening, I want to encourage you to believe you can hear from God, as well as talk to Him. There are many people who aren’t sure if God really speaks to people. They may believe He did in biblical times, but they’re uncertain if He still does today. And because of this uncertainty, they wonder: Is God rea
God will speak to you through His Word.
The number one way God speaks to us is through His Word. That’s why it is so important not just to read the Bible, but also to study it. Instruction, promises, hope, direction, examples— it’s all there If you want to hear the voice of God, I encourage you to spend some time each day in the Word. Everything the Bible says is God’s Word to you Yes
God will speak to you through internal peace.
If you’re asking God to help you make a decision, what is the option that gives you the most peace? Many times, it is this peace that is telling you the direction to take. Peace always accompa-nies God’s instruction for your life. God will speak to you through wisdom and common sense. One of the most practical ways to hear from God is through wis-d
A Two- Way Street
As you can see, having a conversation with God is a two- way street. It’s not just telling God all the things you need, and it’s not just sitting in silence waiting for something to happen. Prayer is about talking and then listening as you go about your day. And just like any other relationship, talking and listening is crucial if you want to grow
Things to remember:
The same thing that is true for building the home of your dreams is true for building the life of your dreams. The way you start each day (the foundation you lay) will determine how joyful and successful your day is going to be. When you talk to God, it should be natural to do so. He is your friend and He is interested in everything about you. God
Suggestions for Putting “Have a Conversation with God” into Practice
Pour yourself a cup of coffee (or whatever you like to drink) tomorrow morning and spend time talking to God until you finish your cup. Talk to God just like you would a friend. Ask ques-tions, share your frustrations, be totally and completely honest. Be patient with yourself while you are learning how to listen to and hear from God. Don’t feel de
Dream Big

— Langston Hughes
A friend recently told me about a conversation he had with a group of children. His nieces had come over to play with his own kids, so he took them all out for breakfast just to get the rowdy crew out of the house. Over donuts, he asked the elementary- aged kids, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Without hesitation, the children began exc
Setting Daily Goals
Setting daily goals helps us see daring dreams come true. That’s because dreams are realized one step at a time . . . one decision at a time . . . one goal at a time. Imagine for a moment that you are a world- class Olympic archer. You’ve practiced for years, perfecting your craft. When there is a bow in your hand and a target before you, there is
Working Toward Your Dream
John Maxwell says, “A dream without a positive attitude produces a daydreamer. A positive attitude without a dream produces a pleasant person who can’t progress. A dream together with a pos-itive attitude produces a person with unlimited possibilities and potential.”1 I love this quote because it is so true. It’s one thing to have a dream, but in o
2. Refuse to give up.
It’s easy to start a process— or to have a dream— but it is much more difficult to see it through. That’s why so many people’s lives fall far short of God’s best. They start to obey God, or they start to move in the direction of their dream, but when times get tough or they become weary of waiting, they turn around and run in the other direction
Welcome to the Club
The Bible is full of big dreams and daring dreamers. Of course, we know that on many occasions God spoke to men and women through literal dreams, but I like to think of the dreams that heroes of the Bible must have carried in their hearts: After being anointed by Samuel, and while tending his father’s sheep, David must have dreamed about what it wo
Things to remember:
You’re never too old to have a dream for your life. Allow yourself to have a childlike optimism for the future. There are action steps to take in order to see a dream come true. Don’t stand by, passively wishing a thing will happen. Be willing to do the necessary work. In order to succeed, it’s crucial to have a goal— a target to aim for. A big pa
Suggestions for Putting “Dream Big” into Practice
Write out your dream (or dreams) and display it some-where in your home or office where you will see it every day. Take an action step . . . even if it is a small one. Do some-thing to get the ball rolling with your dream. Call and inquire about taking a class. Read a book that will inspire you. Talk with someone who has been where you want to go
