Mastering Emotions: A Turning Point

Today I will master my emotions. Og Mandino

That first line of Scroll VI from The Greatest Salesman hit me deeply yesterday. I had just lost a customer—a real gut punch. The temptation to spiral into negativity was strong, but my daily readings kicked in like a life preserver. I repeated the affirmation over and over: Today I will master my emotions. Slowly, despair turned into hope.

Then, something unexpected happened. A prospect I had written off called to move forward—with a promising commission attached. Elation kicked in, but I reminded myself: don’t get too high, just like you didn’t sink too low.

Life is a roller-coaster of wins and losses. But we decide how we ride it. Emotions are powerful—but when we master them, instead of being mastered by them, we open the door to greater possibilities.

Stay grounded. Stay consistent. Master your emotions, and the rest will follow.
