to glorify God is basic and simple here is what I teach
G-Give to give God due reverence and respect for his being
L-Love God as he loves me
O-Obey God and the Holy Spirit and Jesus as head of our lives
R-Remember the word God has placed in us can only work when activated in us
I-Identify sin, confront sin, erase as much of it from our lives as we can with the help of Christ
f-Fight the good fight don't get caught up in cloud thinking and the love theories know this is war
y-Year after God yield our life and ways to him with honor and thanksgiving
In this we glorify him

I think we best glorify God when our will, desires, and actions line up with His.

Being conformed into the image of Christ glorifies God.

Glory means good\excellent\praise-worthy works or attributes of somebody\something. So @faroukfarouk has the closest description of it.

Now, to glorify God means to attribute and do everything good (in nature) as the will of God.
