Happiness — or better yet, a high quality of life experience (QLX) — isn’t something to chase. It’s something to uncover. This insight can be applied to any challenge.
The following conversation embodies many of the core principles we stand for — and practice — at QLX.
A summary of some of the points discussed:
Happiness is your natural state.
You don’t need to add anything from the outside — you need to remove what blocks it. Mo’s story shows that even with success and wealth, true happiness requires inner alignment. At QLX, we focus on helping you reconnect with this natural state rather than chasing external achievements.
Focus on internal success metrics.
Ali embodied clarity and inner peace early on. He knew what mattered and didn’t need external symbols to feel fulfilled. We guide people to reconnect with this kind of deep self-knowledge and live what truly matters.
Life holds paradoxes.
Joy and sadness can coexist; one shapes the other. We help people develop emotional intelligence so they can hold these contrasts without losing balance.
Reserve time for reflection.
Mo’s journaling practice of reviewing stressors and removing them mirrors our focus on conscious self-check-ins and designing life with intention.
Start at the root.
Rather than treating symptoms, focus on the real cause. We do the same: before tackling a challenge, we first address the underlying mental models that created it.
Change the way you look at things.
Experiencing happiness depends more on your perception and expectations, than on endless pursuit.
At QLX, we help you understand your brain, shift mental models, and reframe challenges.
Focus on the present moment.
Negative emotions often come from living in the past or future.
Presence is essential for a high quality of life — especially during challenges. Even our website is qlx.now as a daily reminder of this principle to ourselves.
Clear mental noise.
Mo’s “meet Becky” technique matches our approach to reserving moments for mental housecleaning. This mental distance is crucial for clarity and self-leadership.
Create space between stimulus and response.
Look at what you do, think, and feel without judgment. Become more aware of the mental models that you use to evaluate your version of reality. Build better mental models and change your quality of life experience.
Mission over targets.
Shift from rigid goals to living in alignment with your mission. At QLX, we encourage focusing on consistent effort, without attachment to outcomes.
Service beyond self.
Ali’s life embodied service and contribution beyond individual recognition. We believe deeply in serving something larger — the true foundation for a meaningful life and business.
Conclusion
Knowing these principles is one thing. Living them is quite another!
Our personal transformation programs are designed to help you practice these ideas daily, tackle your real challenges, and experience a high quality of life — every day.
Work with a QLX Transformer to support you on that journey.
