Achieving Integrated Quality of Life in Challenging Times
As 2010 progresses, attaining quality of life may remain daunting for many of us. However, we
here are full of hope. That is because quality of life can be defined in broader terms that are more
within our personal control. Quality of life is less about the material and more about the depth of who we
are as people, and how we interact with family, friends and colleagues, our global community, and the natural world
around us. Also, it is absolutely essential for each and every chapter of our lives—childhood, young adulthood, middle age, and our rich senior years.
Then how do we create and sustain the highest quality in our relationships, health, spirit, and our physical environment?
We do so in part by gaining and applying knowledge so that we're empowered to make the best, most mindful, and
most informed decisions possible. We do so also by valuing the fundamental interconnectedness
of all the aspects of our lives, of wide-ranging social thought, and within the world at large. Only then, can
we truly achieve an Integrated Quality of Life in the face of cultural and global challenges.
