If your happiness is dependent on another person or other people doing what you want them to do, I have some really bad news for you…

That is codependence.

You can love people, support people, and want good things for them. But the moment you make your emotional stability dependent on their choices, moods, approval, or behavior, you have handed them control of your life.

Happiness is 100% your responsibility.

Other people can add to it. They cannot be required to create it.

Let them be who they are.

Then take your power back.
