Have you lived a good life?

From the moment you can recall being able to first make decisions for yourself, to this moment right now, have you done the best you can?
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

I wasn't truly happy til I was around 20 yo
I had a few good years as a kid though
But the experiences I've had were totally worth it for mostly 20years of anxiety and dysphoria

I'm at that point in time where I'm standing at the doorstep of life, waiting to hit the bell. Pretty soon I'll be rocketed through at breakneck speed. I'll get back to you on how it was when I'm spat out the other side.

how is it different if you don't mind me asking.
Just as an example, you can have all the money in the world, if you're still miserable or unhappy then how is it good?

To the OP
Not really, I definitely didnt have a bad life when I consider how fortunate and lucky I've been with a lot of things and opportunities but I've basically always been pretty miserable and good at hiding it. Never really pushed myself when it came to a lot of things because I never really felt like I cared about anything enough to try and hold onto it or push for it. Was never really that close to anyone, especially my family. Wasted a lot of my own time for no good reason
But lately I would definitely say I've been living a good life, for the first time in a very long time I've been genuinely happy. Been pushing myself at work, doing shit I love, meeting a lot new people that love the same shit. Life has been pretty good and enjoyable lately, so while i havent always done the best I can, as of now I can say I am and that everything has been awesome

Having a good life is dependant on my perspective and willingness to accept negative experiences as part of life and a route to wisdom. As far as trying my best, what is that defined by, truly? We are all individuals are we not? I'd say we all try our best, regardless of how others percieve that effort. Life is good all around, I hope every day that as many people as possible can see it.

No one can say they've done the best they can. There is always room for improvement. I've made a ton of bad decisions in my life and some good ones...they have made me into the person that I am today and I like that person. So...nothing was for naught. Today, I try to be a giver more than a taker and have found some peace in that. But, of course, I fall short sometimes.
I also am fine with the fact that I really don't know that much about the workings of life...as a matter of fact, the older I get...the less I realize that I know.

I've repeatedly squandered my potential out of sheer laziness, but aside from that metric I've lived a great life. Ive partied with the best, ive drank from the waterfall of youth, had the fortune of meeting many fine chicks, felt the highest highs and nearly the lowest lows.
I don't judge myself on some perceived success matrix, I'm content going through life my way. I'm letting it play out exactly as it should whether I accept that or not, so I accept it. What others call laziness or complaceny I call inner peace.

IMO, the only metric one should judge ones own success on in this regard is ones own metric. Kinda like this:
