Scroll VI: Today I will be master of my emotions

Yip, I'm still reading the book of Og Mandino 'The Greatest Secret in the World' and I'm on scroll VI: Today I will be master of my emotions.

The thing that helps to keep me motivated is the score sheet of everyday (and week). I don't score perfect scores by any means, but the fact of keeping score makes me feel that there is still value in reading the book.

But let's get back to the topic - Being master of my emotions. It is not at all easy to do, but the one thing that is stuck in my mind from this day is 'Weak is he whose thoughts control his actions. Strong is he whose actions control his thoughts'. Let me mention one example: smiling. Action. If I smile, I immediately feel better. If I try to do it the other way around - thinking I should be feeling happy so I could smile - it often doesn't work. Though, getting out of bed before thinking that I could lie in is a whole different ballgame ;)
