living well
Flourishing in life
Living well means thriving—enjoying good health, comfort, and satisfaction in life.
The phrase often implies material comfort: They're living well on his pension.
But it also encompasses emotional and physical flourishing: The key to living well is balance.
The saying "living well is the best revenge" suggests that personal happiness outshines any grudge.
