Happy July everyone. This week’s withdrawal of hope comes from the late Carla Erickson formerly of Wisconsin. The unattributed quotation reminds us that achievement begins within the mind and heart.

If you think you are beaten, you are,
if you think you dare not, you don’t,
if you have a goal, but think you can’t,
it is most certain that you wont.

If you think you’ll fail, you already have,
for out in the world we find
achievement begins with a person’s will.
It’s all in your 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 will even know peace of mind!

Life’s success doesn’t always go
to the smarter or more learned one.
Sooner or later the one who succeeds
is the one who thinks he can.
