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.
