Feeling good can be... useful.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802459265546733391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23192245.post-16224498733121622412010-01-20T10:24:08.810-05:002010-01-20T10:24:08.810-05:00I didn't realize that there was a term for &qu...I didn't realize that there was a term for "a success experience." I always believe in them and use them. A lot of times people get stuck on the issue and why it's wrong, but a lot of times people forget to look at what is causing the problem and what exacerbates it. Brainstorming is a wonderful tool, and can be used by anyone as long as it's age-appropriate. People tend to focus on the whole picture, but a lot of people respond well to breaking tasks down into smaller pieces and working on those. A small success is still a success. Looking at the positives always helps me.

I've made a career of those small changes and learned when it is time to call it. <br /><br />In politics, I am much less satisfied with small successes (that have the short-term effect of feeling good). Just saying. <br />BarbaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23192245.post-26826600828970840702010-01-19T13:39:31.772-05:002010-01-19T13:39:31.772-05:00Nice essay!
