There is no recipe for chasing after the good life. There is no secret to living well. The best advice that I could give anyone chasing after the good life would be just quit hesitating and go do it.
If self-actualizing is the quintessential definition of living well, then just doing it is the most important act. Because each indviduated and individuating individual is so unique and original in outlook and performance, it is impossible to tell them how to go about completing their life-long task. As they do it, it will become more and more clear how they are to go about it. It will become more and more evident (Some know their calling right away, and for others it takes awhile to ascertain their objective.) what is their mission. Talking to God about it each day is hugely important in discovering what to do, and how to go about it. Act, talk to God, and get after it. Then, living well is transfigured from an initial good intention into a glorious, impressive life lived, with prodigious, important work being completed.
