Wow! I always thought you were responsible. Who? my family, my husbands, my employers, my co-workers etc. It was up to you to make me happy. That's how I thought it was supposed to be. My husbands? "My husband doesn't make me happy sob sob!"
Love, tender feelings, caring, help, support are among the things I thought were supposed to come from others and then possibly I would respond. If not forthcoming, "you didn't really love me". My expectations were quite high of others, not knowing to think about my own actions. Everything was response - reactions.
Today, having achieved some emotional maturity I understand happiness is an inside job and for that I am responsible. If I am living on a spiritual path (not to be confused as being (religious), by doing the next right thing on a daily basis, keeping my conscience and soul free and clear of wrong doings, negativity, animosity, resentments etc,. by replacing ungratefulness with grattude, I can become happy with myself. My self esteem rises, the anxiety, guilt, and angers reside. I become happy and with that it goes outward towards others which then in return comes back to me. Great concepts huh people?
