I’m reading a book that claims each of us are responsible for our own emotions. No one makes you mad, or sad, or happy any emotion.
And I believe it. It’s not a new concept. And it’s not unique to the book I’m reading.
So, what does that mean when you are angry? Who’s fault?
It’s mine.
So, on days like today, if I’m angry and grouchy at people, I know I’m to blame. And knowing it, I pretty much get to own it.
So, I guess today, I’ve decided to be angry.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll change my mind.
