Making it work..

How we see life and how we cope with life depends on attitude. Someone summed up this whole question of facing life with either a negative or a positive attitude this way:

If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not, you won't.

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

it's almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost.

For out in the world we find,

Success begins with a person'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 sooner or later the person who wins

Is the one who thinks he can.

... When we are confronted by a problem, a choice, a crisis, we can respond negatively or positively. The choice is entirely up to you. Responding positively doesn't make a problem go away, it simply enables you to handle that problem from position of strength not weakness. It gives you the advantage, the positive edge.

... Don't be frightened of opposition, after all a kite only rises against the wind, not with it.
