If you think you are beaten, you are... Life lessons by Ter Scott

Today there is less and less “real” thinking going on in the minds of many. You may have heard the famous quote by Henry Ford: “Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it”. Most people do not “think” or have an original thought; they simply “parrot” what they’ve heard. That is a subject in itself which I may address elsewhere at some other time. For today, I want to present how one’s thinking can control their thoughts which when believed, actually doom them to future failure.

As a Life and Legacy Coach ™ and a promoter of business opportunities which can ultimately improve one’s life so they can leave a legacy, I am made aware of the thinking of the “masses” on an almost daily basis. Most opportunities made available today are legitimate but when prospective recruits realize that it will take an investment of time and money (sometimes large or small), they disqualify themselves because of their thoughts.

Poet Walter D Wintle gives us this advice in his poem “Thinking”.

Thinking by Walter D Wintle

Verse 1 of 4

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.

(Scroll to bottom of page to read remaining verses). 
Before your thoughts make you give up on yourself and your potential, get all the facts and have a positive attitude. Seek reasons why something will work instead of the ways that it won’t work. Ask yourself what could I gain with this opportunity by “responding” yes and doing what it takes to make it happen instead of the easiest, knee jerk “reaction” in saying “no”.

Make it a great day!

PS. Remember when I stated that people tend to disqualify themselves when facing a genuine opportunity, especially when it requires an investment of time and money? My friend Scott offers a legitimate opportunity to learn how to become a real estate investor. It requires time and money but the outcome is exponentially bigger than the initial investment. The position requires that an interested candidate go through a 3 step process to see if it is a fit for both the candidate and Scott's group of investors. It's in going through these 3 steps where prospective candidates stop and give up on their dreams and future because, like in the poem, they believe they are "beaten" before they even start or get all the facts so they can make an intelligent decision! If you ever had an interest in becoming a real estate investor check out Scott's information. Then if you are fortunate enough to be placed into the 3 step candidate process, my suggestion would be to get through all 3 steps! For more details CLICK HERE.
