The Man Who Thinks He Can!

The Man Who Thinks He Can

by Walter D. Wintle

If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not, you don't.

If you'd like to win, but think you can't,

It's almost a cinch that 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 outclassed, you are;

You've got to think high to rise.

You've got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go

To the strongest or fastest man;

But sooner or later the man who wins,

Is the one who thinks he can.

I am reading 8 Steps to Create the Life You Want (The Anatomy of a Successful Life) by Dr. Creflo Dollar. These are the kind of books I read most of the time. I don't get much time to read with the kids and the stores, but I do try to read most everyday. I read this poem in his book and I thought it was very good. I have always tried to speak positive and have the can do attitude, and I truly believe that it has a positive affect. Remember it is not just positive that can impact your life, but also negative. If you live your life in the pit, always talking down about yourself or other situations that is what your life is going to be. We have to be careful about what we are saying and even thinking. I have a customer who every time you ask how things are he says not good. I believe that by saying that everyday and dwelling on the negative things in our lives, we bring on more of the same. The truth is his life probably is not very good, because that is what he believes. There are days when I feel like I can't go anymore or just don't feel good, but I would never tell the people who are asking how I am that is how I am feeling. I believe that you speak things into your life with the words you use so if you stay positive and up about the situations in your life chances are that we will have a much easier life.
