Each day we need to have a 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 master my emotions.
Never relinquish control –
If I become overconfident I will recall my failures
If I overindulge I will think of past hungers
If I enjoy moments of greatness I will remember moments of shame
If I feel all-powerful I will try to stop the wind
If I attain great wealth I will remember one unfed mouth
If I become overly proud I will remember a moment of weakness
If I feel my skill is unmatched I will look at the stars.
Today I will master my emotions.
This is written in Og Mandino – The Greatest Salesman. I am printing out for a visual everyday to remind me of my feelings and emotions are intertwined in my thoughts everyday. I need to remind myself of the power they have and master them.
When we change the way we look at things the things we look at change. Become a self-directed thinker, following our bliss, doing what we love.
Thank you for the “Cheat Sheet”!
