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.

Thank you so much for this positive, uplifting poem. Each line portrays the positive and negatives, leaving me reflecting on my own life.

"And these make the person,
who today, are you."

So much truth in these two lines, words we need to hear and remind ourselves of.

"please be true to you....
and celebrate your powers of being....
......YOU."

You've pointed out a very important thing...being true to one self.

You my friend are a shining light, one who celebrates everyday by sharing your words with us.

Simply stated, absolutely true, Saumya! Thank you for being such a positive light!

I"m a firm believer in the power of choice. You've pointed out the foundation of that, in how we deal with others; our 'social' skills.

The line below isn't grammatically correct, add a 'to' between someone and weep and it's all good.

"or you can cause someone weep.."
