Most of us read that phrase and think it means "earning a lot of money so we can buy nice things, go to fun places, and have a life of ease."
But what if we took it literally?
Maybe it means making good things to make others' lives better. Or perhaps making "good" (the concept) part of your life and modeling that to others.
Maybe it just means making the world a good place. After all, we do live here.
Work is how we express our gifts, our skills, our selves. It's how we contribute to society. Hopefully doing well at our work will let us be compensated well (while also allowing us to both enjoy our time here and be generous blessings to others).
But I don't really think money has much to do with good living. At least not after a certain point.
That's my definition. What does "making a good living" mean to you?
