Arnold, CA…2020 will be a year many of us would like to forget. History tells us that when things look darkest the tide may have already turned in our favor. A new day starts before we see the light. Growing up I always loved this poem from Walter Wintle. Not much is definitively known about the author or even which variation is the real one. This poem was first published with his name in 1905. Lets make this a great day!!<\/p>\n

If you think you are beaten, you are;
\nIf you think you dare not, you don’t.
\nIf you’d like to win, but you think you can’t,
\nIt is almost a cinch you won’t.<\/p>\n

If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost;
\nFor out in this world we find
\nSuccess begins with a person’s will
\nIt’s all in the state of mind.<\/p>\n

If you think you’re outclassed, you are;
\nYou’ve got to think high to rise.
\nYou’ve got to be sure of yourself before
\nYou can ever win the prize.<\/p>\n

Life’s battles don’t always go
\nTo the stronger or faster man;
\nBut sooner or later the person who wins
\nIs the one who thinks he can!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
