Well-being is not necessarily the goal, but the prerequisite for reaching goals, the basis from which other things flow more easily.

Good/Bad then becomes dependent on context and on where one is on the overall scale.

The general purpose of the scale is to show you which level is next on your path and illustrate how it is not advisable to aim much higher than where you currently are.

The problem therefore is not a specific state, but rather being chronically stuck at one level for an extended period.

It teaches me that, holographically, when I have a problem with one little thing, in that moment in time, I have a problem with everything and when I have love for one little thing, in that moment I have love for everything.

Do you feel the difference? You’ve just improved your state on the scale in the here and now, not by doing more, but by relaxing and doing less. Your well-being thus improved, as did your doing and your productivity. Please take note of how relatively easy it was to improve your state. Don’t let anyone sell you the belief that improving your state

Put into proper perspective, my “personal issues” are nothing but a tiny dot of insignificance and I move on with relief.

While lower states are concerned with the past, mid-states are preoccupied with the future (higher states are mostly aware of the present).

In fact, as a general note, presume less and perceive more. What is true or not depends strictly on the here-and-now, rather than on previously learned formulas.
