Dear Friends,

In my last post I informed you that I am changing my gear from short poems to medium and long poems.  Let me continue today with a medium length poem.  This is to encourage me as well as to encourage others.  How far I will be successful in encouraging others I don’t know?  But I am encouraged.

Many a times we get encouragement from our parents, teachers, friends and relatives.  At some stage this stops.  May be our role as an encourager comes in.  I always feel if you encourage others you may also get encouragement from others.

Lucky are the people who get mentor.  The mentors sometimes become well wisher, guide, friend and philosopher.  I feel I am not lucky that way.  I have now made reading books and writing as my guiding force to encourage me.  But I am very lucky that my family always encourages me to read and write.

Today let me place this poem before you.  Let’s enjoy the poem.

YES – ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

Hey Man!
Do you dare to live your dream?
Nobody can stop you
Have passion and confidence
Yes – anything is possible!

Hey Man!
Do you want to be enthused?
And exciting always?
Nobody can stop you
Do the things in alignment to what you are
Yes – anything is possible!

Hey Man!
Do you want to exist and exist well?
Nobody can stop you
Be your authentic self
Do what comes naturally to you
Yes – anything is possible!
Hey Man!
Do you want to have true happiness?
Nobody can stop you
Do what you are passionate about
Yes – anything is possible!
