"Scroll 6: ‘Today I will master my emotions.'
If I will bring rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism to others then they will react with rain, gloom, darkness and pessimism. If I bring joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter to others they will react with joy, enthusiasm, brightness and laughter.
Each day, when I awaken, I will follow this plan of battle before I am captured by the forces of sadness, self-pity and failure—
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 clothes.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I feel incompetent I will remember past successes.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals."
