No magic switch...just an attitude

"Don't Let Anyone Rain on your Parade." That was the title of the article by M.J. Campbell....specializing in executive and team coaching.

We would much rather blame someone or something for making us feel unhappy than take the steps to make ourselves feel better. We even talk about our feelings as if they were visitors from outer space. "This feeling came over me," "I felt that way." We speak as if our feelings change from sunny to stormy like the weather, over which we have no control.

This much I know: there is no magic switch. Only an attitude.
