Life Is Good. Period.

Recently, while on vacation, I saw these words everywhere. On T-shirts, hats, and stickers.

Three words. Fifteen letters. And a brand with aspirations that resonated with me.

It isn’t just a company name or a slogan. It’s a belief system. And it’s brilliant.

No fluff. No filler. No desperate overexplaining. It’s the kind of line every marketer wishes they wrote, and every human needs to believe.

The power is in what’s missing. There is no asterisk. No “unless” or “if”. No qualification whatsoever.

Life. Is. Good.

We’re the ones who mess it up by overthinking and feeling like life needs to be more. We take something so pure and, for some reason, feel like we need to start editing it.

Life is good…but work’s insane right now.

Life is good…if the deal closes.

Life is good…once I finally get a promotion.

Why isn’t “good” enough? Why does it need some sort of condition that pushes it just out of reach? We make it something we have to earn, prove, or schedule for later.

The magic isn’t in when these words are obviously true. The magic is in deciding it’s true before the proof shows up and then living like it’s already your baseline.

That’s the creative genius of those three words: they’re not describing the world; they’re daring you to see it that way.

Stop editing the sentence. Drop the asterisk. And live like it’s already true.
