A lot of things. A loving, healthy and supportive family above all. Good close friends. Good health, mental and physical. Good genetics.
Also, living in our time, in our part of the world, where technology, wealth and opportunity is everywhere. Being intelligent, and having the opportunity to learn and be curious. Having significant economic freedom.
Having had the luck and skill to learn a profession that's well paid and in high demand. Being in a society where it's acceptable to not use all your energies at work, but take significant unpaid time off work regularly. The market economy, which for all its practical drawbacks provides a lot of opportunity for saving and applying my small degree of personal power and influence, to provide good quality of life for those around me and myself.
Also importantly, which might not be mentioned too much in these contexts, a healthy and interesting sex life. Living in a society where there's plenty of space for safely and consentually living out freakier proclivities, and for having the personal traits that make this possible. A society that has space for and accepts sexual minorities, be it queer, trans, kinky or any of the other variations of the well-known mainstream. And many of these people.
