Eric,

It is a great thread you have started.

Right after I looked at the title question, it made me think. The immediate answer that flashed through my mind was: well, any life that is lived as per what Gary explains in his books is what a great life is. I thought that the answer to the question simply involves summarizing Gary’s teachings in the briefest way possible.

And then I read through your post. I realized that you had summarized Gary’s teachings beautifully well. I agree with you totally.

Life always involves choice at every moment (literally every moment and it is just amazing how it works). As Chapter 5 of the current Authentic Power course explains, at every moment there is a fork in the path of life and a choice needs to be made. One path in the fork is always fear and the other is always love. What makes for a great life is simply choosing that path of love and avoiding that path of fear, in every sphere of life as you indicate in your post.

The irony is that it sounds simple, but is actually hard. Of course, great life cannot be something that comes so easily anyway. Just knowing that there is always a fork in the path of life and one should always strive to choose the path of love rather than the path of fear is in itself a great start for a great life. Hard to thank Gary enough for that.

With love,
Sundar
