If you believe you're defeated, you will be.
If you doubt your strength, you'll falter.
If you yearn for success but doubt your chance,
It's likely you'll never alter.

If you foresee failure, you're already lost,
For the world reflects the mind's own drive.
Victory starts with a will so firm,
In the realm of thought, you thrive.

If you think you're outdone, you are,
Rise with the spirit that you hold.
You must trust in your own power
To claim the prize of dreams untold.

Life's contests don't always favor the swift,
Nor the strong who act with might.
But eventually, the one who prevails
Is the one who embraces the fight.
