every day!

I am only who I am today. Yesterday, I might have been someone else. Tomorrow, I will change again. Some days will be better than others, but tomorrow is the next opportunity to be better.

I am responsible for my own emotions. I can't place the blame on anyone else for my anger, frustration, aggravation, happiness, lack thereof, insecurity or deprivation. I am responsible for discovering the source of those emotions and figuring how they can be used effectively to solve situations rather than making them more complicated.

Whose business am I in? Unless you are directly involved, it is unnecessary to get involved in other people's business. This applies to more situations than you think. Your assumptions about other people, what they are doing, how they think and what they think about you are examples of this kind of inappropriate involvement. Making these assumptions, discussing other people's relationships, these things aren't really your business. You're not in the relationship, and it's likely your judgments are misinformed and lacking vital knowledge that only the involved parties can use to work through their issues.

Most importantly, I cannot change other people. They will make their own decisions, move forward with their lives, and this is something I have to respect. They need not offer an apology or an explanation; people change.
