Who could possibly be in control but you?

Barbara de Angelis says:
No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.
I say:
What is one thing you want to change about yourself?
Right now I want to stop getting dragged down by people who I'm finding it difficult to marginalise as I go about my business... I'm trying to stop getting needlessly angry at their ineptitude and focus on the things that inspire me instead.

Perhaps not being so darn stubborn on certain issues.
Not holding grudges & letting things that bother me GO.

Anyway if there's one thing i'd like to change it's that i want to be more open to people and possibilities.

People still piss me off, but when it happens I try to sit with it. Not act. Treat it as a moment of listening. Ask what is really happening here---who am I really annoyed with?
More often than not, it's myself.

I also say: there's a lot to be said for the motivational speaker/existentialist attitude of taking responsibility for everything.
Nietzsche would say: some people are crushed by the heaviest weight, and some are liberated.
