Happiness is not by accident.You can design your own happiness. One of the ways of doing this is understanding the difference between standard of life and quality of life.There is an erroneous view that quality of life will go up whenever you buy another product or service.What is really going up is your standard of living- through acquisition of a sports car,the latest phone a home in a plush neighbourhood etc.Quality of life has nothing to do with having more things.Advertising does promise a better quality of life if you buy this or that,but it does not deliver!Things may make our lives more convenient,but overall our lives remain the same.Quality of life has more to do with basic things like drinking pure water,eating healthy home cooked food,sharing smiles with neighbours,taking a walk in natural settings like the woods and enjoying an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables.Quality of life is also about participating in projects that improve your community.By focusing on increasing quality of life rather than standard of life,we appreciate life more and as a result become happier.
