Let's Make A Choice...........

Whenever we have to make a choice, irrespective of its nature, very often we do so in accordance with our priorities. In short, our priorities in life lead us to make a choice about anything.
And the other way round is when we don't have a choice to make a choice.
So let us talk about the former one i.e. making choices based on our priorities.

In every stratum of society, everyone pushes oneself to raise his standard of living in order to attain a life full of content. But while doing so, how many of us have seriously thought about raising the standard of our lives??

Yes, I am talking about raising the standard of our lives over the standard of living and henceforth, making a choice out of the two.

Our choices not only reflect our priorities but also our personalities as these are set up subconsciously in our minds by the environment we have been into throughout our lives and also by the impact of the influences by other people around us.

One must work hard and smart to raise his standard of living so as to reach his full potential and even beyond. To break the limitations and nurture the life he desired for. But what about the standard of life ( quality of life )?
A raised standard of living may not necessarily correlate with a raised standard of life.

Well, who doesn't need wealth, fame, and a life full of luxuries but working endless hours without having personal and social lives, is something indicating a lower standard of life despite having a raised standard of living.

Having a huge bank balance, assets, and luxurious life may not be directly proportional to the happiness index or the quality of life parameters. However, it does fetch you the security and a type of living standard you wished for.

So in order to raise the standard of our lives, one must:

• LOVE YOURSELF: You should love yourself and try to feel comfortable in your own skin. However, if something is stopping you to do so then step up your game and raise your standards to attain that being which is then liked and loved by you. Eat well, exercise well, sleep well, and enjoy 'BEING YOU'.

• RAISE YOUR 'SQ': Elevate your level of the SOCIAL QUOTIENT (SQ). Hang out with a good company of friends and colleagues. Have an active social life. Be in a company of friends having a good standard of ethics even if they don't have a good standard of living.

• HAVE A POSITIVE HALO: Surround yourself with positivity and good standard people who push you upwards to achieve success and not with the one who has a motive of dragging you down. Shun out the doors of negativity as much as possible.

• HAVE A TRUE-BLUE PERSONAL LIFE: Have an awesome rock solid personal life to cherish and who constantly have your back in your thick and thin. It surely instils a sense of security and happiness in one's life.

• HAVE A SANGUINE ATTITUDE: Always keep your standards high and an optimist approach. Being a positive perspective of things always helps you to deal also with the situations once perceived difficult. 

Raising the standard of living has always been at the top of our priority list for the majority of us, but I feel, it should be along with the Raised Standard of Life. It is a fine amalgamation of these, that renders us A TRUE ESSENCE OF LIFE.

So let's make a choice of life that is a blend of both..............
