Need Motivation? Motivational Poem About Success
I wanted to share with you a motivational poem about success.
The thing is that I was re-reading N. Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" book and I came across this wonderful poem which is linked to the law of auto-suggestion.
So here it is:
“If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you like to win, but you think you can’t,
It is almost certain 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 are 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 stronger or faster man.
But soon or late the man who wins,
Is the man who thinks he can.”
So if you need motivation, use this motivational poem to lift up your spirit :)

The general theme of life. As a person thinks in their heart, so it is. Belief is a very powerful Universal force that governs us. Thankyou for reminding us as we strive to move forward with anything, our thoughts or beliefs must accompany it.
I am glad you found this blogpost helpful! It is my pleasure to provide WA members with some motivation/inspiration :)
Cheers,

Hi Zarina, looks like somebody added a couple of extra verses to Walter D. Wintle's poem "If You Think You Are Beaten You Are":
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 certain you won't.
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.
This is another one I like that you may find inspirational:
EQUIPMENT
Figure it out for yourself, my lad,
You've all that the greatest of men have had,
Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes
And a brain to use if you would be wise.
With this equipment they all began,
So start for the top and say, "I can."
Look them over, the wise and great
They take their food from a common plate,
And similar knives and forks they use,
With similar laces they tie their shoes.
The world considers them brave and smart,
But you've all they had when they made their start.
You can triumph and come to skill,
You can be great if you only will.
You're well equipped for what fight you choose,
You have legs and arms and a brain to use,
And the man who has risen great deeds to do
Began his life with no more than you.
You are the handicap you must face,
You are the one who must choose your place,
You must say where you want to go,
How much you will study the truth to know.
God has equipped you for life, but He
Lets you decide what you want to be.
Courage must come from the soul within,
The man must furnish the will to win.
So figure it out for yourself, my lad.
You were born with all that the great have had,
With your equipment they all began,
Get hold of yourself and say: "I can."
