Up and down!

It goes up and down...up and down...up and down. Sometimes it takes me high, very high. Happiness, self-respect and self-confidence are therefore mine . Sometimes it takes me low, very low. Discouragement, low spirits and indolence instantly take over and wreck my day. It confuses and scares me at times. Yet, it also brings me joy and contentment at others. Then, I read somewhere that I have the power to actually control it by simply controlling my thoughts and therefore my emotions. Dear God above, what a discovery! It changed my life instantly. In order to have a profound grasp of its meaning, I beg you to consider this saying from old days, "Weak is he who allows his thoughts to control his actions. Strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts."
