If you have an idea or even a dream

but are scared you might not succeed,

then take a heavy dose of high self-esteem

because success is what confidence breeds.

If you think you have a good chance to win

then your chances of winning improve.

But if you think your chances of winning are thin

then downward your chances will move.

Many games are won and lost

before you step foot on the field.

Self doubt and uncertainty come at a cost;

Your confidence tucked away and concealed.

Many negotiations are already finished

by the time you even walk into the room.

If the belief in yourself is already diminished

then the outcome is destined for doom.

The more powerful man does not always thrive

as many would have you believe.

Sooner or later life's victories will arrive

to the man who knows he can achieve.

So how do you unlock this superpower

and accomplish what is in your sight?

First you need to set sail like the Mayflower

and believe with all of your might.

For belief is the first step to take

when faced with an ambitious task.

And belief is not something you can easily fake;

You can't be doubtful underneath and wear confidence as a mask.

Talent and natural ability will sometimes betray

but belief will bring ultimate satisfaction.

For the chances of success are often found

at the symmetry of mind and action.
