I agree.

According to Dr. Wayne Dyer, author of "Your Erroneous Zones", one of the
major steps to happiness is that since YOU control your thoughts, and that
your feelings come from your thoughts, YOU control your feelings.

If external circumstances dictate the type of mood you are in, then if a
circumstance comes along that "makes you feel bad", you are stuck in a bad
emotional state until another event comes along to make you feel good
again.
