When I got to quality of life... these words resonated with me.
I was thinking... how IS my own quality of life?
My own and our own quality of life.
We have enough to spend and save.
We have all the necessities in the house.
We aren't overly stressed.
We travel often, it's both a plus and a minus, cos it's somewhat disruptive to our daily lives but yet we capitalize on it and try to make the best of it.
We get good healthy home cooked food daily.
We get to eat out as and when we feel like it, but we usually don't go out anyway.
We are both considered healthy enough, could be fitter but... probably healthy enough...
We have a car... it's expensive but... nvm let's not talk about that.
What's there to complain about?
Then I think about others... what's the difference?
Most people have a similar quality of life, but slightly different.
They usually have enough to spend and save.
They have all the necessities in the house.
BUT they might be stressed at work?
They usually don't travel often.
They usually don't get good healthy home cooked food daily.
They get to eat out as and when we feel like it.
Most people are both considered healthy enough.
They may or may not have a car...
Seems like not much of a difference... and yet, I am sure that when I was working, I would never feel that my quality of life is considered good.
Simply because, the STRESS portion actually decreases the quality of life significantly.
Most of us, probably earn enough money to spend and save, maybe not as much as we'd like, but I doubt most of us are living hand to mouth.
So, it really doesn't matter what one has, when mentally, one is always not feeling good all the time.
Which is also why people spend so much money trying to "buy" their relax time, or happy time. They spend money at spas, massage, other recreation... so that they can make themselves feel good...
Think about it... how about you???
