Continuing from part 1, a corollary is worth mentioning here:
YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EMOTIONS OF OTHERS.
There. That’s out. It’s a relief, right? You can not and do not “make” others…. happy, sad, disappointed, unloved, hateful. If you are making others feel emotions that they, perhaps, would not feel otherwise, then consider the possibility that others also have the power over you to influence your own emotions. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Maybe to some, this seems like a childish ruse.
“But, I make my wife, child, lover, partner, etc… Happy!” No, you do not.
Your energy in their presence helps them to resonate with their own energy. They are “happy ” because they’ve allowed themselves to be, and could be happy regardless of the situation, place, or event. However, they’ve chosen to be in your presence to resonate with that emotion, in this case- “Happiness”.
No one can “make” you Happy. Or sad. Or whatever emotion you may be feeling. You are the creator of your own story and reality, unsullied by what others may feel about you or about what you are doing. Your emotions are your own. Your emotions are reflected in your actions (doing) and your reactions (being) and are indicative of your spiritual nature.
THE ONLY CONTROL WE HAVE IN LIFE IS OVER HOW WE REACT.
