How to increase the standard of your life in this world full of chaos

 “Fact: - If standard of living is your number one objective, quality of life almost never improves. But if the quality of life is your number one objective, the standard of living invariably improves.” — Zig Ziglar(American author & Motivational Speaker)

In this whole world of chaos, by running after money, achieving high standards in the job, living the luxury life around high tech gadgets, we often forget to increase the standard of our life.

To increase the standard of our life, we need to do very small things in our day to day life, there is nothing we need to exaggerate about it to others or on social media, and ultimately it will be beneficial to you and the people around you.
