“Your values shape your quality of life.”

“If standard of living is your major objective, quality of life almost never improves, but if quality of life is your number one objective, your standard of living almost always improves.”

“Your life is a reflection of standards you set for yourself. Raise your standards so will your quality of life.”

“Compromise and workability are two very different things. Compromise undermines your values. It corrodes your life. It ruins relationships. Workability preserves your values. It enhances your life. And it strengthens relationships.”

“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts; therefore guard accordingly.”

“If your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.”

“Nothing is so self-sabotaging as having your actions not reflect your goals. Your life is always just waiting for permission to go where you want it to go … to be shaped how you want it to be shaped.”

“… quality of life lies in knowledge, in culture. Values are what constitute true quality of life, the supreme quality of life, even above food, shelter and clothing.”

“Treat everyone you encounter as if the success of your spiritual life depends upon the quality of your interactions with them.”

“Nothing shapes your life more than the commitments you choose to make.”
