Motivational Poem: Live Your Life

Mind dazed.

vision hazed.

life’s a maze.

I’m amazed I’ve come this far.

But that’s not enough.

my goals have puffed, like smoke,

and I’m wishing I was high but I’m not.

Seeking solace as I write, I train like I’ll fight,

the next distraction that clouds my sight.

I need that clear vision. To see what I’ve been missing;

to guide me on my mission, whatever that may be.

Sometimes it’s clear, but other times not so much.

Sometimes I stand still, but sometimes I pull the clutch.

Put it in high gear, cut off all the stops.

No one said it would be easy, but easy doesn’t get you on top.

I’ve been through a lot,

but my experience is relative.

I have a lot to give,

if I can bring myself to live.

I’m alive, of course, my heart beats, my lungs breathe,

but is a life lived if it hasn’t realized its dreams?

Nothing is impossible, only my mind makes it so.

Remembrance of greatness, many years ago.

I wanted to be this, I wanted to do that,

I chose only to survive in my surrounding habitat.

I pushed myself once, I did it a few times.

I did the impossible once, no I did it a few times.

I have greatness in me. I want to share it with you.

If you’re feeling a bit low, I want to uplift you.

Your dreams aren’t gone, you just haven’t focused.

It takes a concerted effort, an application of gnosis.

Put down the cell phone, turn off the TV.

Increase your attention, focus intentionally.

We are a unit, a collective conscious we are.

Your dreams are not far,

They're there for the taking.

The power is in your hands, but what effort are you making?

Excuses are futile, you can’t run from yourself.

You follow you everywhere.

Don’t put your dreams on the shelf.

If direction is the issue, make a map or two.

You won’t know where you’re going unless you know what to do.

If time is the problem, assess your situation.

Have you seriously scheduled your time in its optimum allocation?

If you feel like a victim, stop this madness at once,

take your life in your own hands and do what you want.

Take ownership of your life. It’s responsibility.

It’s no one else’s fault. Take some accountability.

Put decisions in your hands, make life a power play.

Don’t wait for others to move, make your say the final say.

If today is the day, then make it YOUR day.

No procrastination, no excuses, no delay.

I want to uplift you, guide you, and work with you.

I want you to join me, be empowered and blissful.

Life is a journey, it’s a time to be wishful.

We’re children at heart, so put your joy on a missile.

Attack your passivity and all your negativity,

you’ve got to be intentional to use all your energy.

When you push past limits, your vitality gets renewed.

You can do it repeatedly and change your attitude.

Negative to positive, it sounds so cliché,

but don’t let the cynic fool you. Today is your day.

Reach in your pocket, pull out a pen,

and pull out a paper and write down, “I CAN”.

Post it on a wall and don’t take your eyes off it.

Keep your eyes open until it hurts your eye socket.

Now repeat after me,

“THIS IS MY LIFE. NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT FROM ME. IT’S MY GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO LIVE OUT MY DESTINY.”

“THIS IS MY LIFE. NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT FROM ME. IT’S MY GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO LIVE OUT MY DESTINY!”

“THIS IS MY LIFE. NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT FROM ME. IT’S MY GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO LIVE OUT MY DESTINY!!!”

Repeat this mantra at a high decibel level.

Repeat it so many times that your voice gets disheveled.

Fear will tell you no, but your mind knows the way.

So, you better not give a damn what fear has to say.

This is your life, and no one can steal that from you.

Not your mother, not your father, not even you.

Not your friends, nor your enemies, your family or foes. Your life is your own.

And this is what you know.

LIVE YOUR LIFE!
