I noticed that it may be very challenging to see things in oursleves that we probably have been supressing or not giving much thought about because it is too heavy to look within, only to find out looking within for our answers and like you say being honest, does eventually bring about rewards in the forms of personal growth. Nice post with great insight! Thanks for sharing your story here. Honesty with oneself, goes a long way.

And thank you CG for this... Be careful when you cast out your demons that you don’t throw away the best of yourself. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche My two cents... anyone wanting to start over must be ready to not defend his/her current ideas and self. It is knowing that perhaps half of what you hold to be true is not, and you dont know which half that is, so you simply dont defend your ideas and convictions in any way. The ones that are based on truth will stand, they dont need you to fight for them. And the ones based on illusions and false ideas will soon fall away since you are no longer defending them. Thank you, Patricia.

]]> Comment on Immediate Gratification by David @ A Happy Pocket Full of Money http://www.abetteryoublog.com/2007/03/17/immediate-gratification/comment-page-1/#comment-46339 David @ A Happy Pocket Full of Money Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:51:00 +0000 http://www.abetteryoublog.com/2007/03/17/immediate-gratification/#comment-46339 The amazing thing is that sometimes in life (quite often, actually), to have a good life long term, one must pass up on immediate gratification so as to do something that will bring on long term gratification. The problem is that immediate gratification brings immediate pleasure whereas the action required for long term gratification sometimes brings immediate pain or at least low immediate pleasure. And we are creatures of conditioning, meaning we respond to expectations of pain and pleasure. So the trick is to re-wire our pain-pleasure conditioning, and NLP is great for that if you know how to use it.
