What is the most crucial piece to ensuring quality of life? Is it God, career, family, money... All of it? It's nobodies decision but yours. Could you have the quality you seek without something? I read often, and as I dig deeper into what it means to truly live a life full of vigor for living I find myself realizing my quality of life has non negotiable things. It wasn't always that way though as we tend to compromise if we want to avoid conflict, if we want to keep up a facade, if we are living someone else's dream. At some point though the non negotiable become just that and we start to realize our life revolves around things that matter most to us. It's after you start to strip away all the non essentials and realize exactly what is essential and what quality of life means. Are you aware of the things you don't allow in your life and the things you refuse to live without? Are you surrounding yourself with people who are willing to let you pursue, to grow, to create that life? As we get older our priorities will change, but you begin to realize the values, the morals, the commitments, the promises you've made to yourself and to God during those quiet moments you asked for help, guidance and hope remain. Quality of life for me is about living. Living the life you set out to live. Living not for those you must live with, but the ones that you are determined to live for. It's about creating real relationships with real people. It's about taking all you've been given by God and giving it back to others through your time, your talents, your faith, and your promises. It's about being ready and willing to walk the path, carry the cross, do the will of God. "Not that I speak in regards to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content." (Philippians 4:11)
Believe in the Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you allow God to speak to you about where you are and where you are going. For through Him is a good place to find the quality in living the life He has given you.
Have a blessed day.
