You can If You Think You Can!

This is a poem by- Walter D. Wintles.

This poem is all about beating the mind game and winning the battle of life. I just read it and it picks up my spirits. Life is great when you think you can.

I know that some days I need a pick-me-up and this does... Hope you enjoy and get a pick-me-up from it.

"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 a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost;

For out in the world you 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 is begun.

Think big and your deed will grow;

Think small and you'll fall behind,

Think that you can and you will,

It's all 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 before,

You can ever win a prize.

Life 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."

Think big, set big goals, dream high. Then remember what Norman Vincent Peale once said: "Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll be among the stars."

To Success, Keith Wilhelm
