You always hear people say that they’re just not happy in their jobs, marriages or relationships.
But most are unwilling to accept their portion of the blame. When it comes to how happy or unhappy you are, you’re the boss! No one is going to work as hard as you can to insure your personal happiness. Unhappiness can be like a chronic cough, an early symptom of a more serious condition. Most people are either unwilling or unable to face up to the fact that there’s some problem eating them up enough to cause chronic misery. Like any other disease, this kind of unhappiness requires treatment.
Most people let circumstances beyond our control rule our lives. People can only make you feel as miserable as you allow them to. More then a few of us have made bad decisions about whom we associate with. The worst thing anyone can do is dwell on how the misdeeds of others have affected their life.
People will do selfish and foolish things and sometimes life just seems very unfair, but the worst damage that anyone can do to you is what you allow them to. You may end up broke because a business partner cheats you or divorced because your mate did you wrong, but why spend the rest of your life paying for their mistake? Happiness is a personal choice and life is ours for the living.
The only one who can really ruin your life is you.

Good post Michelle. Also, your photography is amazing! Looks like you had a nice trip.
A couple days ago I was feeling so miserable because of situations out of my control, but this post seriously made my day! You're RIGHT! Things can happen beyond my control, but I control my attitude! How are you always so positive?!?
