I am never upset for the reason I think I am. This is a power thought that helps me live my life each day. What this means is first, I don't really understand the reason why I am upset. I might think or know that I am upset, but the underlying reason may be unknown to me. Second, it helps me to see there is more to whatever it is that's going on. For example, if I think there is a person or thing that is making me upset, I am never upset for the reason I think I am tells me that there is more to the situation than meets the eye. When you think you are upset with something the world has done, or something you hear in the news, or something you see on Facebook, you have no control over the situation, so you invariably feel unhappy. Ultimately, being upset is a natural reaction to resisting how things are. I am thankful that today I can catch myself when I become upset, and know that I am never upset for the reason I think I am. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jerrybanfield/support
