I change only myself. I put my effort where it can be most effective - on me. I put my effort where I have most control - on me.
I always have choices. I stand aside and look at my thoughts. I stand aside and look at my emotions. I notice the connection between my thoughts and emotions. I choose the thoughts I want to hold on to and let go of those that no longer serve me. As I change my thinking, my emotions change. As my emotions change, my actions change. As my actions change, my relationships change. The changes I choose to make in me affect other people. The changes I choose to make in me affect my relationships. The changes I choose to make in me affect the world.

Choice...
