Who does your happiness depend on?

Saw this in the daily love today:

"Tell everyone you know: "My happiness depends on me, so you're off the hook." And then demonstrate it. Be happy, no matter what they're doing. Practice feeling good, no matter what. And before you know it, you will not give anyone else responsibility for the way you feel-and then, you'll love them all. Because the only reason you don't love them, is because you're using them as your excuse to not feel good."

- Esther Hicks. Hicks is an American inspirational speaker and best-selling author.

It struck a nerve in me. I can definitely see how I have a habit of making my happiness dependent on others, and then secretly carrying resentment towards them when I'm not.

Can you spot it in your life too?
