The power of being YOU...

this is a poems which talks about the powers that have freely been given to you and helps us weigh how we use them...

You can make others happy,
or you can make them sad..

you can encourage others,
or you can demoralize them..

You can quieten someone bitterly weeping,
or you can cause someone to weep..

You can love people,
or you can hate them..

You can be a good friend,
or you can be a great foe..

You can be like a cool breeze,
or you can be a grand storm..

You can be interesting,
or you can be irritating..

You can be the best source of inspiration,
or you can be the huge source of degradation..

You can be very precious,
or you can be really useless...

You can make others feel great joy,
or you can make them feel deep pain..

You can turn others to be optimistic,
or you can turn them to be big sadists...

These are the powers, given freely
to you,
and its totally upon you,
that what out of these,
you choose...
And these make the person,
who today, are you.

these are your powers of being  you.....
given to you, so that
you can easily choose,what
goes really well for you..
and the world knows you,
for what qualities you deeply
have in you...
and not that, which you and your heart
clearly knows,
should not lie in you..!
so, whatever you are today,
please be true to you....
and celebrate your powers of being....
......YOU.

This has a great message as well. We were given free will to choose, and many of us have chosen poorly. I guess given my negative view of the world and those in it, I am choosing to be demoralizing. However, when I look, there doesn't seem to be much reason to choose differently, as it appears there really is no other choice.

A lot of the time, I also feel useless, rather than precious. Is that really a choice?

This, for me at least, is both uplifting and depressing in equal measure. However, it is really thought provoking.

Thanks for sharing this.

'The power of being you'
Saumya,
From day to day people give and take. This is the power of cause and effect. We all never really know what happens in the inner being of those which we touch. For so much of what we are remains hidden. Honesty requires that we all do our best to 'put our best foot forward' as the saying goes.

Awwwwww, this is really cute!!!!! It's so inspirational, I just love it!

Well, the powers that be have ordained that we should be. This is your message, Sauma. The choices are simple, yet the decision is not. That is why the power of being you is all about what we say and do. As for the lines, the emphatic YOU ends the last stanza well, though a bit shorter stanza would be great to read. The simplicity of the lines is reinforced by the recurrent use of OR, a matter of choice. Keep it comin!

The power of people! Personally I think a shorter last verse would be better
But I liked it!

i like the way you have clearly stated what should be but often isnt obvious to people that the power lies within you to decide your own destiny and the person you become... things, experiences and people all shape our views and thoughts and may sway us one way or the other but only to a certain extent because truthfully the power lies within... we create ourselves either as monsters or human.

"these are your powers of being you.....
given to you, so that
you can easily choose,what
goes really well for you..
and the world knows you,
for what qualities you deeply
