giving them power over us:
power over our sleep, our appetites,
our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness.

lacerating us, and getting even with us!
Our hate is not hurting them at all,
but our hate is turning our own days
and nights into a hellish turmoil.

If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labor.

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.

inventiveness, and service that they contribute.
In this world-view, money that is spent
or given away returns multiplied.

It is the music of the soul.
Take time to think.
It is the source of power.

It is a God-given privilege.
Take time to be friendly.
It is the road to happiness.
Take time to give.
It is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to work.
It is the price of success.
