When someone has something or someone is able to produce results that I'm not able to produce—and I'm not able to accept it—I become jealous. When someone has something or someone is able to produce results that I'm not able to produce—and I'm able to accept it—I get inspired.
When I'm encountering uncertainty or am about to encounter uncertainty, which I'm not sure how I'm going to handle—and I'm not able to accept it—it causes fear in me. When I'm encountering uncertainty or am about to encounter uncertainty, which I'm not sure how I'm going to handle—and I'm able to accept it—I feel adventurous about it.
When someone has done something that has emotionally hurt me—and I'm not able to accept it—it develops hatred in me. When someone has done something that has emotionally hurt me—and I'm able to accept it—it helps me forgive them.
When someone is present in my thoughts but is not physically present—and I'm not able to accept it—I say I'm missing you. When someone is present in my thoughts but is not physically present—and I'm able to accept it—I say I'm thinking of you.
The Emotional Equation
Thus, the Emotional Equation becomes:

Something + non-acceptance = negative emotion
So, it is not something or someone who is making me feel positive or negative, but it's my acceptance or non-acceptance of something or someone, which impacts things.
