Daily Gratitude: “Whoever pulls our chain becomes our master.”

This should also say “whatever” pulls our chain because so often we are tied to objects or things.

If we can become angry, upset, sad, depressed, or worried, we are not free. If we become happy or feel elevated because of what someone else says or does, we are not free either. Whoever can make us feel better or worse can pull our chain.

Next time something someone says or does makes your mood change, think of this. Either way, you don’t want to have your mood and well being dependent on someone else, do you?

Teach this to your kids and even your friends. Remind them of this when they’re feeling down because of what someone else says.
