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.

I concur - we have the power to change ourselves - so often we just play victim. Nicely done.

I hope we use the powers given to us as you have depicted wisely. Thank you for sharing such a deep message

You is you, me is me and I is I for who we are we empower ourselves by being who exactly who we are. Whoever that person is for what we don't know we must be in anticipatory spirits that it will surprise us when we least expect it! There, I find the pieces of who I am when I am in such a state of mind and reexamination for sure :)

It definitely doesn't sound like a poem, thats for sure.
Although that doesn't mean it wasn't good nor that i don't like it.
I loved it has a great true meaning.
Its true every one is different and everyone chooses how they want to act or be.
No matter id influenced in the end no one can make you do anything its all on you to be who you want to be.
You point that out really well:)

A really good poem with a really good concept. the power of being you and the influence it has on others and the bonds between people.

The choice is truly yours. A wise poem of how our choices mold our destinies.

The title of the poem is the one thing that first stood out to me and the words were perfect!! When you simply be yourself, people learn to be happy with the person you are and you will too :) as you should :) Veryy beautiful

While it might be true we can be all these things. We can also be a great LISTENER in this world. The Good Creator gave us two ears to hear with and one mouth to speak. Coincidence ? ;)

And yes, perhaps the most difficult thing of all - is to be true to oneself. I find myself failing this time after time ...
