IF YOU THINK...

 If you think you are beaten, you are.

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

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

It's almost a cinch 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 and faster man,

But sooner or later the man who wins 

Is the man who thinks he can


Your ability to live a fabulous life is determined by your willpower. Nothing drives you more than your desire. If we read stories of people who have overcome serious disabilities, It is evident that their burning desire to succeed was their driving force. They had a goal in life. Despite the odds, they wanted to change the narrative, and they succeeded.

Desire is what made a paralytic Wilma Rudolph the fastest woman on the track at the 1960 Olympics, winning three gold medals.

According to Glen Cunningham, "Desire is what made a boy with burnt legs set the world record in the one-mile run."

At age 5, a polio victim started swimming to regain strength. Because she desired to succeed, she went on to become a world record holder at three events and won the gold at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne. She is Shelly Mann.

Wherever the will to succeed exists, failure has no breeding grounds. We see no opportunities to excel because we lack the desire to succeed. With the will to succeed coupled with discipline and focus, the impossible is just a dare.

IS YOUR CHOICE TO BE RICH OR POOR.

Your background has nothing to do with your future financial status. How your financial status becomes in the future is a decision and option solely reserved for your intellect.   Poverty is not an inheritance but rather a decision we make based on our thoughts. We choose to be poor and wealthy depending on what we think and act upon. Even those have the rare privilege or opportunity to inherit the wealth of a relation or parent are also faced with the option of maintaining the legacy or destroying based on the decisions, steps, and actions they take.   Proper management skills will make them maintain the legacy whereas extravagant and irresponsible spending may cause them to waste the wealth down the drain. The potential to make wealth has been given to us and only our mind-set will help us activate it.   Our ability to think critically and make sound decisions is key to unveiling and activating these potentials. Like a sword can be used to attack and defend...

EVERY LIFE MATTERS

Far beyond the wisdom of men, the creator chose to create us in His uniqueness. Some he painted black, white, and others He gave the color yellow with each bearing special qualities. What happens to dynamism if we all are the same. What happens to leadership if we all have the same abilities. Who becomes a follower if we all have prevalent ideas and insight concerning a thing. Who becomes the student if we all have the same in-depth information and knowledge. Come to think of it, we can never and ever in any way be the same because it will make society imbalance and unstable. As the ecosystem comprises of different organisms living together with different roles, we must learn to appreciate everyone's uniqueness and accept and live with them for who they are. Under no circumstance should we allow color and background to make us undermine anybody let alone have a friction with them? Remember our color and our background are not decisions or choices we have made by ourselves. It ...
