The Law of Success

This is something my mom talked to me almost every inch of air that I breathed.

Achieving success isn't so much about financial gains but rather about attaining a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction within oneself.

Success cannot be defined by one single quality, characteristic or psychological trait. If it were that easy, then everyone would be successful. Instead success is rather a delicately blended mixture of qualities, characteristics and traits that if balanced in the right combinations will help to attain the pinnacles of achievement. Just like the ingredients of an elegant meal, a little too much confidence, or too little attention to detail and the entire recipe will fall apart when heated up in the oven!

If you think you are beaten, you are;

If you think you dare not, you don't;

If you would like to win, but you think you can't,

it is almost certain you won't.

If you think you will lose, you have lost;

For out in the world we find success

begins with a fellow's will -

It is all in the state of mind.

If you think you are out-classed, you are -

You have got to think high to rise.

You have got to be sure of yourself before

you can ever win a prize.

Life's battle won't always go

to the stronger or faster man;

But sooner or later the man who wins

is the man who thinks he CAN!

Finally and most importantly,

YOU NEVER LOSE UNLESS, AND UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO QUIT!

Love,
