HOW DO I CHANGE

If I feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my work.
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 incompetence I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my own emotions.
“We are told never to cross a bridge until we come to it,
But this world is owned by men who have crossed bridges in their imagination far ahead of the crowd.”

From compromise and things half done,
Keep me with stern and stubborn pride,
And when at last the fight is own,
God, keep me still unsatisfied.
