We are wired to gauge the “rightness” of something by how good it makes us feel.  This is not always what we should use to measure the rightness of an action or path.  Please understand, I am not saying we should ignore feelings that indicate something is wrong.  We should not do that.

However, we might be taking the right action at the right time and it doesn’t necessarily feel good.  Feeling good is a perceptual filter.  If we use our wisdom (our own wisdom) we might benefit from some investigation about the value of an action or experience if we look beyond the feeling state it engenders.  The feeling state might be an old habit.  The action or experience might be something beyond the known. And perfect for us right now.
