		<description>Hi Davina,

Yes, exactly -- context is very important.  An advise that is appropriate at one stage does not apply in other stages.  That's a big part of what I wanted to communicate with this post.  We need to keep changing, to keep climbing the ladder.

		<description>Hi Tammy,

That sounds like a good habit.  I think constant self assessment is very helpful in our continued growth.  Because the more we grow, the more we encounter unfamiliar terrains -- and what we used to do may not work.  We need to keep changing.

		<description>Hi Sharon,

Welcome to OBV!

I, at least, feel that I don't give myself enough permission to feel good.  I just get so used to being busy and overwhelmed, or stressed about something, that when I'm feeling totally good and relaxed, I feel like there's something wrong with the picture. ;-)  

As I said in the previous post, we do have to differentiate between deeper sense of happiness from more surface level gratification -- because the former is the one we want to feel, all the time.

		<description>Hi Ari. I liked this because it illustrates that there are different levels of feelings and that realistically we do fluctuate between these levels. I also liked your statement that "It's better to eat junk food than to be suicidal." It's all relative depending on what level you're at.</description>

		<description>Ari,

What is so cool is that we have the ability to choose to follow after those feelings we want.
It may not come immediately, but feelings follow intention.  Thanks for your post.  Congratulations on your new blog!  HATS OFF   BALLOONS RELEASED   FANS CHEERING!!!!!

		<description>What a wonderful chart. One step at time can be seen here. I try to take time each morning (after the children are out the door) to reflect on where I am, where I need to be, and where am I going. 

This is a great post. I am glad you enjoyed your past Friday. It does feel good to do something for "ourselves".

		<description>I love Esther Hicks's book Ask and It is Given. I like the approach, in that their focus is on just feeling good, which is great because when we feel good we are at our peak and our results will reflect that.</description>

		<description>Hi Tom,

Really?  I'm just scratching the surface of what Abraham-Hicks have to offer.  My wife is the "book hunter" of the family and I just read what she hands to me.  ;-)   I'm beginning to suspect that I may have found a new "standard" bearer -- one that helps me articulate some core beliefs.  I haven't found a teacher like that since I read Covey's 7 Habits.
