If someone makes you happy, make them happier. If someone makes you miserable… walk away.

Kidding aside, no one can make you miserable. You CHOOSE to be miserable. If you are in a relationship and you feel like it’s sucking the life out of you, you need to replace “this relationship is making me miserable” with “I am choosing to be miserable because I have decided to continue being in this relationship.”

In this way… We take the blame away from outside circumstances and have to be faced with the fact that our decisions, emotions, and reactions are not the effect of outside circumstances but instead due to our own lack of taking personal responsibility for our own well being.
This is the way. ?
