Motivational

There have been numerous poems that have been written through the ages. Some of them are recited from time to time, on various platforms, especially because they have motivated one. Some have been the underlying factor behind one’s success story. Given here are some of the classical motivational poems that have been passed down through the ages…

• Do Not Quit

You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you.
An arrow can be shot by dragging the bow back; similarly, if life is dragging back with obstacles, be patient. It is getting ready to launch you to greater heights.
When you fail do not take two steps back, because you may just be one step behind success.
Looking back has a history to reveal and looking forward has a future to unveil.
There are choices aplenty, you have free will to choose the path, though the destination is simply one.
What you think you are, you are. Dare to be what you think you want to be.
Life is a story about accepting challenges and taking responsibilities.
Never say quit, no matter how tough it may get; for the tougher the journey the more enjoyable the destination.

• Promise Yourself

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can
Disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to
Every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel like there is
Something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your
Optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
And expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
As you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the
Greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give
Every living person you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
That you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too
Strong for fear, and to happy to permit the
Presence of trouble.


• When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
All filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name and
Took me by the hand.
And said my place was ready in Heaven far above,
And that I’d have to leave behind, all those
Things I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I’d always thought, I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you, and maybe
See you smile.
But then I fully realized, that could never be,
For emptiness and memories, would take
The place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might
Miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was
Filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through Heaven’s gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From his great golden throne.
He said, “This is eternity, and all I’ve
Promised you.
Today your life on Earth is past, and
Here it starts anew”.
“I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each day’s the same day, there’s
No longing for the past”.
“But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true,
Though there were times you did some things,
You know you shouldn’t do”.
“But you have been forgiven, and now at
Last you’re free,
So won’t you take my hand now and share
My life with Me”.
So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t
Think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me, I’m right here
In your heart.


• A Creed to Live By

Don’t undermine your worth by comparing
Yourself with others,
It is because we are different that each
Of us is special.
Don’t set your goals by what other people
Deem important,
Only you know what is best for you.
Don’t take for granted the things closest
To your heart
Cling to that as you would your life, for without
Them life is meaningless.
Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living
In the past or the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the
Days of your life.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give
Nothing is really over … until the moment
You stop trying.
Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less
Than perfect,
It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don’t be afraid to encounter risks,
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s
Impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly,
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t dismiss your Dreams. To be without
Dreams is to be without hope.
To be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget
Where you’ve been,
But also know where you’re going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored
Every step of the way.
