Vikings fans know life is not simply defined by winning and losing. It’s bigger than football. It’s about life folks. I’ll never forget when it finally hit may that, “we learn more from our failure than success”. Vikings fans should be the wisest in the lands! But again. We learn more when we struggle to overcome. We do. Which isn’t what we want to hear. But it’s true.
So each day I set out to “win” but it’s not defined as simply a “score” or a declaration as “winning” Which leads me to winning is a state of mind. It is. So here we go. Please consider~
“If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don’t,
If you like to win, but you think you can’t
It is almost certain you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow’s will
It’s all in the state of mind.
If you think you are 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 soon or late the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!”
― Walter D. Wintle
