Just about every time my Dad and I talk at length he says "Away from pain, towards reward."  Seems as though I am constantly trying to ease the pain of bad memories, financial consequences or physical discomfort.  I've recently come to understand the longer the pain lasts the more urgent the need to change.  In his book NLP the new technology of achievement, Charles Faulkner says "Pain is a sign that it's time to change.....we're using a poor approach."  So instead of seeking out pain as I am accustomed to, I need to first, recognize pain sooner and second change my approach.  Maybe I need to make more plans that involve success rather than suffering.  Easier said than done but now I know.

This is something I have been pondering lately. I came to the same conclusion. Changing your approach to life does work wonders. Also acknowledging the pain and putting it behind you instead of pondering on it and thus giving it power, will also help!
