Based on a poem first published in 1905 and anonymously adapted over the years. Its bottom line: Never, ever give up fighting for what you believe in.

If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think that you dare not, you don’t; If you’d like to win, but you think you can’t, It’s almost a cinch that you won’t. If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost; For out in the world you’ll find Success begins with a fellow’s will, It’s all in the state of mind. Full many a race is lost Ere even a step is run, And many a coward falls Ere even his work’s begun. Think high and your deeds will grow, Think low and you’ll fall behind. Think that you can and you will, It’s all in the state of mind. If you think you’re outclassed, you are; You have to think high to rise, You have to be sure of yourself Before you can win a prize. Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man, But sooner or later the man who wins, is The fellow who thinks he can. **

And trust in the God who gave us this ability to be the change we want to see….
