A short piece I came across the other day and which very aptly describes the way the mind works and the incredible power it wields over over lives. Whenever you think you can do something, the fact is that you are already halfway there. And when you think you think you can’t, you almost certainly won’t be getting any thing done.

It truly all starts from your mind, from you thoughts. And like my friend and sister CoachKemi of How2Think will always say, “Change the way you think!”

The way you think about yourself will either empower you or limit you. You are how you think. You thoughts make you or mar you. If you are a Christian, (you know, the kind that still reads the Bible) you are probably familiar with the part of the Bible that says that “as a man thinks in his heart, so is he”.

You also probably know the other passage that says that from the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks… That means that you thoughts influence your words and your words influence your life.

Do you really want to change your life?

Then, “Change the way you think”.

And, after that, “Change the way you speak”.

And, then, you are well on your way…

If.

If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not, you don’t.

If you’d like to win, but think you can’t,

It’s almost certain you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost.

For out of the world we find

Success begins with a fellows will.

It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you’re 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 or faster person.

But sooner or later the person who wins

Is the one who thinks they can.
