The Secret talks about feeling good as the state you want to maintain while you receive the great things you’re attracting.  I wrote about that here and here.

The Secret also talks about feeling good as a guildance system to knowing what you want.  It says you need to do what feels good for you.  “Follow your Bliss” and all that.  That’s pretty general.  I think there are two kinds of feel-good - there’s a short-term self-gratifying kind of feel-good that’s momentary.  And it’s often not all that good for me in the long term.  You know like crack.

Looking at material stuff, the short-term feel-good would make me want to get stuff so I can look good to my neighbours, or to prove something or make up for some feeling of lack in myself.  The feel-good I get from that stuff is going to feel hollow after the initial feel-good, pretty fast.  You know like crack.

I don’t think that’s the kind of feel-good we’re going for here.  The feel-good here is grander.  What brings you more in line with who you really are?  What urge do you feel deep in your belly? Your head may say “yeah right like that’s ever gonna happen”.  But your gut says “bring it on!  That’s me, that’s totally me!”. 

The guidance system you want to hear is the one that brings you in line with your Higher Self, the *best* part of you.  And it’s OK if it’s money or stuff.  

Not having to worry about money.  Being able to do something fun for your child.  Or feel the joy of owning something you absolutely love and enjoy and use.  If those feelings are coming from a place of who you really are and from the love you have for those around you  - you’ve found your Bliss.
