Such excellent suggestions. Issues with expectations and perspective have shown up a lot in our marriage. I’ve come to believe that expectations are one of the main determining factors of happiness!

This is sage advice! Holding the rest of the world to your values or your expectations results in a bucketload of disappointment in life. I have a family member who is constantly disappointed by other people and that weighs heavily on that individual’s mental health. I watch with sadness thinking that if only the diversity and differences of others could be acknowledged and celebrated as something that makes the world more colorful, that person’s life would also be much happier. Thanks, great article.

I love what you said about “owning your impact.” And the reminder that I have *so* much influence not only on my thoughts, but also the actual outcomes of circumstances around me.

Working in the mental health field, my mantra has become: perspective is 90% of health! How we view things matters, as you said-it impacts all of who we are and what we do. What you focus your mind on is imperative, and it goes way beyond the cup being half empty or half full. It is tricky to navigate the road with both lanes of being the only one responsible for self (self is the only one we can control/change), but being completely impacted by everyone and thing around us. Shifting our focus to healthier things (also known as things that help us heal, stay stable, stabilize, or create positive experiences), takes a lot of practice and effort. It is definitely worth it, though!
