Biggest lesson being learned in my life is.... I can only control how I feel, the things I do, etc.
  
I cannot control other people emotions. How they go about things they feel, and do, that is their choice/right.

We all have the right to be happy, sad, glad, upset, joyful, pissed, etc. But we cannot feel like we have caused someone else to feel that way. In retrospect, yes, we may have caused it. But we didn't make them feel the way they did.
Of course we should always try to build others up, strive to bring joy and a smile. But we are humans, we screw up. And if someone ends up pissed or hurt. That is their choice to feel that way.
We can't define ourselves by how someone else feels. We are who we are. We control ourselves, and ourselves only.

We can tell people what is right or wrong.
 Like in parenting. You can tell your kids what is good or bad, or how to do or not do things. But ultimately you cannot control what they do, say or feel. That is up to the kid.

Life is short, we control how we feel about it.
Sure there are and will be ups and downs. But don't give up. Don't live in the dark place. Strive forth and find the light, and joy.
