Your feelings are your own.
When you feel happy or sad it is you feeling this.
Your feelings, arising from the thinking on your mind.
Happy thinking creates your happy feelings.
Sad thinking creates your sad feelings.
The language you've been taught to use to describe where your feelings are coming from is inaccurate.
"_________(fill-in the blank) made me happy" is not accurate.
It is your thinking about "_________" that leads to your feelings.
Yours alone.
Realizing this can be life-changing.
And, liberating.
