-enjoy, your friendly neighborhood BlackBelt energy guy
Today I will be master of my emotions.
All nature is a circle of moods and I am a part of nature and so, like the tides, my moods will rise, my moods will fall.
Today I will be master of my emotions.
I will remember that as today's dead flower carries the seed of tomorrow's bloom, so to does today's sadness carry the seed of tomorrow's joy.
Today I will be master of my emotions.
And how will I master these emotions so that each day will be productive?
For unless my mood is right the day will be a failure. If I act with rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism towards others, than they will act with rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism towards me. If I bring joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter to others, they will react with joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter towards me.
Today I will be master of my emotions.
And how will I master my emotions so that everyday is a happy day, and a productive one?
I will learn the secret of the ages:
Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions, strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts!
Each day I will follow this plan of battle....
If I feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labor.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
If I feel incompetent I will remember past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be master of my emotions.
There will be days when I must constantly struggle against forces which would tear me down. Those such as despair and sadness are simple to recognize but there are others which approach with a smile and the hand of friendship and they can destroy me. Against them, too, I must never relinquish control....
Today I will be master of my emotions.
I will also understand and recognize the moods of others. No longer will I judge others on one meeting.
Today I will be master of my emotions.
Henceforth I will recognize and identify the mystery of moods in all mankind and in me. From this moment I am prepared to control whatever personality awakes in me each day.
I will master my moods through positive action and when I master my moods I will control my destiny.
Today I control my destiny, and my destiny is to become the greatest person I can be.
I will become master of myself.
I will become great.
