The 3-D approach to living: deflate, deflect, or depart (from) negative energy/emotions.
We own our emotions ~ no one else does. That means they're our responsibility to modulate ... filter ... alter. No one makes us feel a particular way; only one's self does that. We create it ... we gotta live with it, ride it, so to speak.
So ... if you find yourself harbouring a bad attitude ... then change it! its no one else's fault, but your own. So ... remember change the things we can change, accept those which can't change.

This means challenging my self to compassionate, encouraging, genuine and hostile-free exchanges. It also means contemplating my reaction to the thoughts, feelings and expressions of others, prior to acting upon them. 
agreed! its hard to apply, but practice helps. how are you? its good to see you.
I have a quote on my desk that I read often (and yet- never often enough) it says,
"No one is responsible for your happiness- EXCEPT you!"
The older I get- and the more people let me down- the more I realize how and where I pin my hopes on THEM...rather than looking to myself to make things right, and good, and satisfying.
Ultimately my happiness, success, joy, and fulfillment depend on me-
ME.
At once it's a tough thing to accept, and yet very liberating once I do.
My best to you friend- and in all things, make yourself happy.
-me :)
I am with Cora on this one - I always keep myself in check with my daily attitude...I just go to the mirror, smile, count my blessings, and forget the small stuff.
