I don’t why you might want to do it, but here’s a helping hand if you want to be unhappy, try to control someone else. Try to make them do what you want them to do or to see things the way you see them. That is a sure recipe to end in unhappiness. What’s the antidote? Focus on yourself. Keep your own counsel. Be ready to help when asked. Sometimes, when you feel the urge to butt in, the best choice may be is to sit on the sidelines and watch the drama play out. You may not like the way the drama is playing out, but it has a life cycle and must run its course. So much of our daily happiness has its genesis within our being and how we choose to respond or non respond to external stimuli.
