“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 think of past success. If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals. Today I will be the master of my emotions.”
The idea behind the quotation
When difficult feelings arise, choose actions and thoughts that build courage, confidence, and hope, so you can guide your emotions instead of being controlled by them.
