I wanted to share this with all of you. My father showed this quote to me, he's been carrying it around in his wallet since he was a teenager, it really helps me when Im feeling lost...
It goes....
If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you wont
For out of the world we find, life's battles dont always go to the world's fastest or strongest,
but to the person who thinks they can.
Hope this inspires you like it inspires me.

I love that one. It's called "The man who thinks he can" By Walter D. Wintle. You should look up the whole poem that is just a small part of it. It makes you feel so positive about everything. Thank you for posting it.

Hi DeeDee and mmk22, it's a great poem.Thanks for the inspiration. I looked the rest of it up on Google. Here it is:
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 a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s 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 man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
