State of Mind
Author Unknown

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you are.
If you'd like to win, but you think you can't
It's almost a cinch that you won't

If you think you'll lose, you've lost
For out in the world you'll find
Success begins with a person's will
It's all in the state of mind!

Full many a race is lost
Before even a step is run
And many a coward falls
Before even his work is begun

Think high and your deeds will grow
Think low and you'll fall behind
Think that you can and you will
It's all in the state of mind

If you think you're outclassed, you are
You have to think high and rise
You have to be sure of yourself
Before you can win a prize

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man
But sooner or later the one who wins,
is the one who thinks he can!
