**Personal story included**
Stop blaming others for how YOU feel! Nothing and no one can “make you” feel any type of way. You feel because you are human, and humans feel. You are responsible for the way you feel, which means you are accountable for your own feelings. Therefore, only you can determine how you want to feel about something.

Let’s say your date stood you up, and as a result of this experience you naturally feel vulnerable. Many emotions will come up for you at this point such as sadness, anger, and self-doubt.

Then, I remembered my worth and capabilities, I looked for the lessons and opportunities, and I said to myself “you know what, I’m gonna take myself on this date anyway.” I chose to be content with what happened because I remembered I had the ability to pick myself up again.

So I got in my car, picked up dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, ate it in the car because this was a date with myself after all, and took myself to see the movie I was promised. I had such a great time and laughed so hard at the movie. I decided I didn’t care what anyone thought. I went home happy that night, and fell deeper in love with myself. I remember to this d
