Your feelings are caused by your thoughts...
Not by your circumstances.
Circumstances are neutral. However, we can decide what meaning to give to our circumstances. And that will determine how we feel.
Whatever we think creates our feelings. Our feelings determine how we show up. How we show up creates our results, which becomes our new circumstances.

Events + Thoughts = Emotions
Our emotions are always mediated by some form of thinking.
If our thoughts determine how we feel, that means how we habitually think will determine how we habitually feel.
We are responsible for our feelings
Blaming others is senseless; we must take responsibility and control of our mental state.
No one makes us feel anything, we decide how we feel; no one can hurt us, we decide to feel hurt or not.
The only person responsible for our feelings is oneself.
Share Your Thoughts
Talking to a loved one about how you feel is a great way to release pent-up emotions. Sharing your thoughts with others can also give you new perspectives, which can help you think clearer and make better decisions.
