I used to depend on other people for my happiness. I often found myself unhappy. When things didn't go as planned I would freak out and get upset. I have learned over the years that the only person you can truly count on is you. You have the control to make your own happiness. If things don't go as planned then do something else, what is the point in sitting around and stewing about it.
I feel like this last year in my 20's has really brought on some serious insight about myself. I am getting to know me all over again and I love it! I had plans that I was really looking forward to the other night, the other person backed out and didn't bother to let me know... was I upset? You betcha, but then I really sat and thought about it and decided that I wasn't going to let that ruin my night. Instead I spent some time enjoying my own company and watching a movie and relaxing, something I don't get much time to do anymore.
I talked with some friends and really enjoyed my night, was it what I was expecting? no, but did I have a good time anyway? Yes!
My challenge to you is next time you find yourself upset or angry because of what someone else did, choose to be happy and make your own happiness! You won't regret it.
