Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life: How to Unlock Your Full Potential for Success and Achievement

MASTER OR SLAVE?
Many people are slaves to their emotions. With very little control
over their feelings, they continually react and respond to other peo-
ple and situations. They have no minds of their own.
One of your chief responsibilities to yourself is to get your
emotions under control. Take charge of your positive emotions
rather than allowing yourself to be dominated by your negative
emotions. By using your emotions deliberately and purposefully,
especially by keeping them positive and focused on what you
want, you can put enormous power behind your visualizations,
verbalizations, and idealizations.
