Golfer Arnold Palmer has won hundreds of trophies but he
never flaunts these. In his office is only one trophy on display. It is a small
cup he received at his first professional win at the Canadian Open in
1955.
On his office wall is this lone framed plaque that reads:
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 certain you won't. Life's
battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man, / But sooner or later,
the man who wins / is the man who thinks he can.
Life's battles,
challenges, successes and/or failures are all fought, won or lost in the
mind.
Be assured, too, that "what the mind dwells on the body acts on."
If you don't agree with this, just think how temptation works.
Dear
God
please help me
to guard my heart
and mind with all diligence …
and keep my thoughts focused
on things that are 'true, pure, and of good
report.'
Thank you for hearing and answering my prayerz
