When I decided to take ownership of my feelings, my life began to change in some rather magical ways. New possibilities began to emerge, relationships became deeper, I was less afraid to go after new opportunities, and I began to feel better.It's interesting because I used to believe that feeling better meant feeling positive most (if not all?) of the time.
