Weekly Inspirational Poem

This week’s inspiration comes in the form of poetic writing rather than a literal poem. Taken as an excerpt from Orisen Swett Marden’s book, "Selling Things," this quote says much in just a few words:

Everything depends upon the attitude of mind with which you approach a difficulty. If you are cowed before you begin, if you start out with an admission of weakness, a tacit acknowledgement of your inability to meet the emergency that confronts you, you are foredoomed to failure. Your whole attitude lacks the magnetism that attracts success.

-Orisen Swett Marden, Selling Things, 1916
