Our feelings are self-created. They may be activated or catalyzed by others’ behavior, but it’s our interpretation that causes us to feel the way we do. The swirling brew of our programming, experience and nature create the background against which we frame our experiences and create our feelings. Not only is blaming others for our feelings misguided (because only we can be responsible for them), it puts us in the helpless position of victim. When we take responsibility for the way we feel, we empower ourselves because the only place we can truly effect change is…
Within.
