Most
people agree that getting angry or upset is normal when they experience rude and
thoughtless behavior. We have been taught most of our lives that others can make
us angry by taking advantage of
us or mistreating us. HOWEVER
- TAKE CHARGE:
The
truth: It is an inside job!
Other people can't make us angry or upset. We
do this ourselves by having a need to control people and situations that are out
of our control. | |
|
| THE
REALITY: The
choice to feel good or bad,
emotionally, is always yours. |
