I visualize the outcome, and I let my mind flow
I am patient, and I let my ideas take shape
For I know that my mental preparation, will determine my fate"

"I don't rush, and I don't force my hand
I let my mind lead the way, and I understand
That my mental state, is the key to my success
So I take a deep breath, and I do my best"

"I don't let distractions, or negative thoughts get in my way
I stay focused, and I stay true to my path
I let my passion guide me, and I keep my mind sharp
For I know that my mental preparation, is the key to my art"
