Quality of life means finding a happy balance between work, friends and family. A car runs smoothly when its wheels are aligned; people perform better when thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals and values are in balance.

Balance your acts and thoughts…

• Follow your heart, but also use your mind
• Connect with nature when you go out
• Express love to the people you love
• Introspect when you're happy
• Dance, and read
• Help others, and also seek help when you need it
• Sleep well, and have a night out with old friends
• Give flowers, and buy yourself flowers too
• Set goals, without comparing yourself to others
• Spend time with God, and keep romance alive
• Make a gratitude list, and write your desired funeral speech
• Want what you have, and list what you aspire to
• Pamper your loved one, and pamper yourself
• Have a sense of wonder, and enjoy natural beauty
• Make time for fun, and face your fears
• Exercise, rather than just watching television
• Lighten up, and stay open to new ideas
• Don't beat yourself up, and be true to yourself
• Visit a museum, instead of being a couch potato
• Focus on what you desire, not on negative thoughts

Life pulls you in every direction; the choice is yours to pick the best one. Happiness is a matter of balance, order, rhythm and harmony — not intensity.
