		<description>Yea I agree. Different things work for different individuals.

When you are at the bottom of your life, and there really isn&#039;t much to lose, it would be useful to visualize on what you want from life instead of what really scares you. Because once you are at the bottom, visualizing what worst case scenarios if more of a reminder than a scare.

For people whose lives have more space to be worse, could use the possibility of it getting worse as a reason to avoid it. And since fear is a great motivator as it generates desperation for getting out of crappy situations, it is a useful tactic.

But you are right with what you said about positive visualizations and happiness. It would be more useful for people who are depressed just as Zeenat stated.

Thank you for your dedicated feedback, Eirien I appreciate it.

		<description>Dawn,

I&#039;m a extremely glad that my post and site has that kind of impact of peoples&#039; lives. I thank you very much for coming here and reading what I have to say.

And remember whatever it is you are experiencing, it won&#039;t last forever. There is always a way and there is always hope. I can promise you that. I&#039;ve felt there was no hope at one point in my life, and I am very glad that once I got out of it I can share with people from what I&#039;ve learned. 

And I am just so happy to see messages like yours, because it means the wish I have for people to be happy is becoming more like a reality now. 

Thank you for your response, I hope my posts/site will be more of help later on.

Steven</description>

		<description>Steven, I am not a blogger. I got your link from another blog. I have never written to anyone never. However, I just had to tell you that you may have saved my life tonight by giving me a glimpse of hope. For that I thank you very much. Please keep doing what you do, you have a fan for life.</description>

		<description>Hey Steven,
I thought I should clarify and tell you I made a dreaded typo!
It&#039;s important I correct it because it changed the whole meaning of my sentence! I meant, &quot;But, I &lt;b&gt;can&lt;/b&gt; say (admit) that many of my decisions in life were just based on pain avoidance.&quot;

So, I&#039;m basically agreeing with you. Again, while I don&#039;t purposely try to visualize bad outcomes, I DEFINITELY make many decisions to get LESS pain in my life. I hope that made sense!  

I&#039;m really glad I met you, Steven, you are a force for good! :P

		<description>Hey Lori!
I know what you mean with visualizing good things. I do that too. It&#039;s just that sometimes desperation out of bad habits and situations may just be the stronger cure than positive thinking. But I get what you mean, different things work for different people! :)

Good to see you here again. 

Simple is good...less is more! xD

		<description>Hey Armen,

I know what you mean with the reality. I agree with you, we need to know our present situations in life, and sometimes if things are doing so well...then they really just aren&#039;t doing so well. That is when we need to step up face reality in the face and do something about our problems. Instead of fantasizing about what good things could happen in the future.

Thank you for the comment Armen,

Steven</description>

		<description>Hi Steven,
Again, love the comics, Steven. 
As a habit, I try not to visualize things I don&#039;t want, only good things. But, I can&#039;t say that many of my decisions in life were just based on pain avoidance.
I think you just have to go with whatever works to stay on this side of the dirt. 
I keep it simple. ;)
Thanks for this!
