[Video] Want to Control Your Emotions? Flip Your Perspective

Whether it’s happiness or sadness, joy or pain, all your emotions begin with your thoughts. So if you want to change how you feel about something, start by changing how you think about it.

I was devastated at first, but then I decided to change my perspective. It wasn’t that my money was stolen, but that I had made a donation to the poor of New York City.
