(If this is your first time on this site, you may want to begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])
If you are a regular reader of my Empowerment Process please read the Section II version of this poem first (male version, female version); then read this version.
It's All In My State Of Mind
If I think I am beaten, I am.
If I think I dare not, I won't.
If I'd like to win, but think I can't,
It's almost certain I don't.
If I think I'll lose, I've lost.
For out in the world I'll find
Success begins with my own will-
It's all in my state of mind.
Full many a race is lost
Ere even a step is run,
And many a coward falls
Ere even their work's begun.
I'll think big, so my deeds will grow;
If I think small, I'll fall behind;
I'll think I can, so I know I will-
For it's all in my state of mind.
If I think I'm out-classed, I am;
I will think high, so I will rise;
I will be sure of myself
So I can win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster than;
But sooner or later, I'm going to win
And it's because I know I can.

I strongly suggest that you write down your immediate reaction, after passionately reading this poem.
- Your mind is a powerful tool and thoughts can influence actions. What will you convince yourself of?
Stay Tuned.......

Hey Mel,
I thought this poem was familiar: I went to the previous version and there it was - my comment!
I must say that using the personal pronoun in the first person renders this poem even more powerful: well done!
"Your mind is a powerful tool and thoughts can influence actions." - absolutely!!! Only our mind can destroy us; and only our mind can make us reach the top.
Power to the Mind, I say!!!
"What will you convince yourself of?" - at this moment I need to convince myself that I will lose 3 cms in my waist...and I will, give me two months (we must avoid stretch marks lol)! Other than that, Mel...my self-esteem is already so high, I am already convinced of so many things that if I keep up I will become unbearable *nodding*.
Cheers
Max,
You can do ANYTHING. I have no doubt.
BTW, I understand, from reading some of the comments on your site, that you are now married!
CONGRATULATIONS!! Lucky, lucky guy.
Hey Mel,
