A wonderful woman named Julianna changed my life in the most powerful way when she told me that I can choose how I feel, and react, and behave in any given moment. I protested, "Some people's behavior makes me so angry". She responded, "It is not the person who is making you angry, it is how you are choosing to react to what they have said, done, or not done".
Since that incredible light bulb moment, I have realised that I am in charge of how I feel, and each day I choose happiness.
At first it was not easy, I was used to blaming others for my feelings, saying something or someone made me feel angry or sad. But, after a lot of practice, I have realised that it is not these external events that give rise to my emotions. It is my own brain which I have control over. I have the power to change how I feel and react. Today I am choosing happiness.
