State of Mind
posted in Words |A poem I carry in my planner:
State of Mind
If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you like to win, but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost;
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in the state of mind.
If you think you’re out classed, you are;
You’ve got to think high to rise,
You’ve got to be sure of yourself
Before you can win the prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.
