"What is the essential ingredient to the good life?
Since Aristotle first spoke of “the good life” almost 2,500 years ago, it seems everyone has been on a quest to experience it. I have heard many people speak about it and I have read many books on the subject. Some people think it’s about success and accomplishment. Others think it’s about money and things. Some think it’s about love and family. Others think it’s about food, wine, travel, adventure, education, meaningful work, independence, friendship, and pleasure.
There’s nothing wrong with these things, unless these things are all you’ve got. Because even all of these things together will not deliver the good life.
There is only one ingredient essential to the good life. So essential that without it, the good life is impossible. You would think that such an ingredient would be widely sought after. It isn’t. You might think that such an ingre- dient is scarce. It isn’t. You may think this ingredient is expensive. It isn’t. You may think people would be clam- oring to get their hands on it. They aren’t.
When people talk about the good life, you get the impression that it is mysterious and only available to a select few people. This isn’t true.
There is no secret to the good life. It isn’t a mystery. No exceptional talent is required. It isn’t only for the rich and famous. It is available to everyone, everywhere, at all times.
What is the essential ingredient of the good life? Goodness itself. The secret to the so-called good life has always been right before our very eyes. If you wish to live the good life, fill your life with goodness. Fill your life with love, kindness, gratitude, compassion, and generosity.
Take risks with your goodness. Test the limits of your goodness. Don’t just love, astonish people with your love. Don’t just dabble in generosity, live a life of staggering generosity.
How would your life change if your only goal was to do as much good as possible? Let’s find out. Don’t let this question remain unanswered. Celebrate goodness every chance you get.
Don’t waste your gold dust."

The good life is so simple but we don’t believe it can be that easy or attainable. Thanks for this reminder .
So welcome, glad you enjoyed the video.
I wish he'd reference God more. The only thing we need in this life is God... God is Goodness
Thank you Matthew !
Very welcome, I'm glad this resonated with you, Giancarlo.
Love the reminder that the good life is available to everyone, everywhere and at all times. It is so easy to default to thinking that the good life can't happen to someone like ourselves. It is up to us to fill our lives with goodness and the good life will follow. Thanks for this wisdom, Matthew!
Incredible how easy it is so overlook the simple, thank you for speaking truth.
This reminds of St. Therese's Little way. Very inspiring! Thank you as always Matthew.
She’s awesome
Great Wisdom offered in a simple way. Thank you Matthew. I would love to see you collaborate with Simon Sinek.
Wonderful Wisdom Matthew. Thank You - I am going to test the limits of my goodness-
Love this! The good life is available to all of us. I really appreciate your question at the end for us to sit with. Always inspiring, Matthew. I would absolutely love to see you collaborate with Tim Ferriss on a video.
Yes Good Word Father Matthew👐🏾👐🏾
Just Matthew
People mistake material things for the simplicity of goodness as you say. Love your short videos they pack a punch in a few minutes. It's like a resume, your most important paragraph is your first. You lose people if you go on too long 👍
So glad you're enjoying these videos, thanks Sonny!
Your messages are always uplifting and powerful. Thank you Matthew!
Thanks Alessandra. Have a great day!
I love your passion when you’re speaking. It’s so inspiring.
Thanks Elle.
I believe the secret to the good life, a truly good life, has to be rooted in faith in Jesus Christ. Even atheists can be good, but if it isn't rooted in God, a big piece is missing.
Don't know how you do it. Feels like you are speaking straight to me. Thank you!
Thanks, Matthew! Inspiring and insightful as always. I would love to see you collaborate with Chase Jarvis discussing finding the good life in education today.
All of these without Christ means nothing.
Matthew, I would just love to see you interviewed by Jordan Peterson
Your appreciated ...
Thanks Steve, glad you found this video. Thanks for watching!
Wow, Matthew! You have a gift. So many important things said in such a short video. I would love to see you collaborate with Tony Robbins!
Thank you, that saying should be on a bumper sticker 😀
Mhmm, that's a good idea!
Matthew, you never disappoint. Do you think you will ever be on the Oprah Winfrey Network?
Awesome video Matthew, I love the writings of Aristotle and your summation of the Good Life is very accurate. It seems to me that you and Jordan Peterson could have some interesting conversations... would love to see THAT video!!
