Quality of Life

According to the text, It’s All Connected: 

“A number of factors contribute to an individuals quality of life, some of which can be measured or tracked.  These include a person’s income and his or her access to education, health care, goods and services.  Other contributors to quality of life are harder to measure such as happiness, creative expression, religious or spiritual involvement, and the relative degree of freedom and justice enjoyed by an individual.”

What does having a good quality of life mean to you?  What does a person need to have in order to live a healthy, happy, productive life?
