You Cannot Be Unhappy Because of Others
Most people live under a myth: “I am unhappy because of what he said… what she did… how they treated me.”
But here’s the truth: no one has the power to make you unhappy unless you hand over that power.
- Their words are theirs.
- Their actions are theirs.
- Their moods are theirs.
- Your response is yours.
When we believe others are the cause of our unhappiness, we make ourselves prisoners of their behavior. The moment we realize “my happiness and my unhappiness are both my choice,” we walk free.
Unhappiness doesn’t come from others. It comes from our interpretation of their actions.
Change the interpretation, and you change the emotion.
The most powerful freedom in life is emotional independence. You don’t need people to behave in a certain way for you to stay peaceful.
- Guard your inner space.
- Don’t outsource your peace of mind.
- Choose love over resentment.
- Choose peace over reaction.
Because no matter what happens around you
You cannot be unhappy because of others.
