Default Life quality, based upon belifes?

I have been thinking for some whild, played around with the thought of how our belifes interferes with our life quality. Say your belifes said you should run an hour for a day, dont smok or drink - then your belifes would pretty much improve your life quality, would'nt it?

One example could be some of my 'friends' - some of them are christian, they dont smoke, drink, do drugs nor any thing alike. I dont say all my non-christian friends does, but some one might.

Now you got the picture, so lets bend it around a bit. Do you belive in fate? Yes you do? You expect that every thing comes to you automaticly? Or you dont belive in fate? And know that things come through hard work?

So the final question would be; Does your belife in fate (or relegion) determine the quality of your life?

[size=1l]ps. "whats life quality" is a own topic.. but what i thought of was some thing amon thees lines; think for your self, be productive, work hard and have goals to reach.[/size]

I would generalize and say "(I believe) one's beliefs determine (in part) what kind of life one has."

The criteria for 'quality of life' are subjectively chosen - in effect one's beliefs determine (in part, yet again) how you value your quality of life.

Cheers, john
