It's all in a State of Mind

Author Unknown

If you think you are beaten, you are:
If you think you dare not, you won't

If you like to win, but don't think you can
It's almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out in the world you'll find

Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in a state of mind.

For many a game is lost,
Ere even a play is run,

And many a coward fails
Ere even his work 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 a state of mind.

If you think you are out-classed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise;

You've got to be sure of yourself
BeforeYou can ever 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 fellow who thinks he can.
