Do you know how much power you really have?
I used to make other people responsible for my mood.
I used to find ways to blame my circumstances on others.
I didn’t want to take charge because then I felt like I would have to consider my part in the blame. I didn’t want to see my failures because it would mean that I was a failure.
However, when I realized I couldn’t actually make anyone happy or mad or frustrated, something inside of my brain changed.
This phrase changed everything for me…I AM NOT THAT POWERFUL!
Thoughts are what create our feelings. My thoughts create my feelings and someone else’s thoughts create their feelings.
I cannot create a feeling of LOVE in someone, no matter what I do. And they cannot create a feeling of LOVE inside of me, no matter what they do.
It is what I think of the thing they did that creates LOVE!
It is what they think of the thing they did that creates LOVE inside of them.
So next time you want to blame someone for a feeling, remember you create your own feelings.
And next time you want to blame someone for causing you to be mad, remember you created that MAD feeling by the thought you had.
