Quality of Life.
Quality of life can relate less to what we have rather than what we chose to cultivate and the virtues we hold- kindness, compassion, softness, tenderness, forgiveness….
Quality of life- “an individual’s perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns.”- WHO.
"It seems to me that the good life is not any fixed state. It is not, in my estimation, a state of virtue, or contentment, or nirvana, or happiness. It is not a condition in which the individual is adjusted, fulfilled, or actualized….The good life is a process, not a state of being…It is a direction, not a destination. The direction…is that which is selected by the total organism, when there is psychological freedom to move in any direction” - Carl Rogers.
What does quality of life mean to you?
