How or what do you do to live the good life?

The Bible says we in Christ are to reveal the Spirit of God’s fruit, “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” (Gal. 5:22-23). 
How do you accomplish that?  You can't, God’s Spirit can.  

Being open to the Spirit’s leading is how it happens in life.  It is can happen when you enjoy a sunrise, pray, read the Bible, see people’s spiritual need; in moments you’re alone or with others.  When the Spirit of God bears his “fruit,” those who are nourished can rise up and walk in Him.

Through Christ we have eternal life and His Spirit in us; we then, are to live a life—a walk—in the Spirit’s fruit; as Paul said, “If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit” (Gal. 5:25 ESV). 

Walking in the Spirit,

Read:  Galatians 5:22-25

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 

If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. (ESV)
