“Unhappiness enters through a door that has been left open.”
Zen Proverb
Negative emotions and experiences often arise as a result of our own thoughts, actions, or attitudes. We have the power to control our own experiences and emotions. Our happiness or unhappiness is largely a matter of our own choices and perspective.
We often leave ourselves vulnerable to negative emotions and experiences by failing to maintain healthy boundaries, by dwelling on negative thoughts, or by allowing ourselves to be influenced by external factors beyond our control. By leaving our door open to negative emotions and experiences, we create a space for them to enter into our lives and take hold.
We have the power to close the door on unhappiness and negative emotions by taking control of our thoughts, actions, and attitudes. By cultivating positive habits, maintaining healthy boundaries, and focusing on the things that bring us joy and fulfillment, we can create a space for happiness and positivity in our lives.
Be encouraged to take responsibility for your own experiences and emotions and be mindful of the habits and attitudes that can leave you vulnerable to negativity and unhappiness.
