Thoughts of a Winner

Although I am only one out of a million I am somebody, and that makes me as good as the next person.

There is nothing in this life I cannot do. There is no goal I cannot tackle and have success! If I feel deep down inside that something is important to me, then I can do it. If my mind can conceive it, and my head can believe it, then I know I can achieve it. No longer will I drift through life feeling sorry for myself, because self-pity is the seed of destruction.

I will search for a goal, and with enough hard work, total commitment, determination, dedication and self-sacrifice, I know I will reach it. I know there will be many times when it will seem that all the odds are against me, and I will have to fight one battle after another--but I will not give up!!!
--Winning Words of Champions, p. 265
