  • It’s All In the State of Mind by Walter D. Wintle
  • If you think you are beaten, you are, If you think that you dare not, you don’t, If you’d like to win, but you think you can’t, It’s almost certain you won’t.
  • If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost, For out in the world you’ll find Success begins with a fellow’s will— It’s all in the state of mind.
  • For many a race is lost ere even a step is run, And many a coward falls ere even his work’s begun,
  • Think big, and your deeds will grow; Think small, and you’ll fall behind; Think that you can, and you will— It’s all in the state of mind.
  • If you think you are outclassed, you are; You’ve got to think high to rise; You’ve got to be sure of yourself before You ever can win a 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

Get Right.  If you don’t believe in yourself you do not have the ability live right or lead right.  Focus on YOU first.  Despite what “Goo Nation” will tell you it is not selfish.  What is selfish is not being the best version of yourself & living in a capsized boat pulling others under with you.  Be the man “who thinks he can”!  Aye!
