734. An important question to answer whenever we consistently feel pain in our lives is, ``Is this pain the result of my situation or of my rules for how I should feel about it? Is my feeling bad about this making it better? What rule (belief) must I have in order to feel bad in this situation?'' It's critical to examine our rules to make certain they're intelligent and appropriate. Some people's rules for feeling good are that their children must be getting straight A's in school, they must be ns1 in their office in sales, have less than 10 percent body fat, and feel calm and unstressed at all times! Can you imagine how often someone with these rules would feel good? Examine your rules. Make sure they serve you!

750. Don't put off joy and happiness. To so many people, goal setting means that only someday, after they've achieved something great, will they be able to enjoy life. There's a huge difference between achieving to be happy and happily achieving. Strive to live each day to its fullest, squeezing all the joy you can out of each moment. Instead of measuring your life's value by your progress toward a single goal, remember that the direction you're headed in is more important than temporary results. What is your current direction? Are you moving toward your goals or away from them? Do you need to make a course correction? Are you enjoying life to the fullest? If not, make a change in one of these areas now.

Remember that your brain is always trying to move you away from pain, so think about all the negative consequences this belief has caused.

The words of the mouth will become the meditations of the heart, and the habit of loose talk loosens the fastenings of our understanding."
