I hear the term " quality of life " thrown about these days. Everything from commercials to politicians use this term. Buy this product and your quality of life will be improved and possibly enhanced beyond your wildest imagination. Vote for me, I will increase your quality of life. Move here, live there, attend this seminar, join a cult, your quality of life is at stake.
Well all I can say is this, your quality of life is dependent upon the quality of your thoughts. It is really as simple as that. Irregardless of any promises or innuendo to the contrary, you control your quality of life. Not the drug companies, lawyers, preachers or politicians.
If you allow your thoughts to focus upon the negative things in life, that will be your experience. Allow the mind to stray from the constructive to the destructive and that will be the result. The " quality " of your life can not and should not be measured by external factors. The external can certainly have an effect on your outlook but should not be allowed to control.
The advertising gurus and snake oil salesman invented this quality of life stuff. It is another way to say, I'm not getting what I want. I'm the victim here and my quality of life is being infringed upon. The other part is, give me your money and I can fix that. The truth is they cannot. You may medicate, cover up or provide a temporary sense of relief but it has no effect on your quality of life. The quality of your life is dependent upon the quality of your thoughts.
Physical changes occur over time. This is an inevitable fact of living. No matter how much we exercise, eat healthy or go to spas, it is going to happen. Are these changes effecting your quality of life ? As long as my mind is sound, I think not. Those that can't play, coach ! A lifetime of experience should not go unused. The quality of your life should not be impacted. Do not be fooled into thinking that because you cannot do what you did ten or twenty years ago that your life has been effected. That is what these pitchmen want you to believe. The quality of your life is dependent upon the quality of your thoughts.
