Figure It Out Yourself
This one is by far one of my favourite poems. I keep reading it to myself whenever I face self-doubt. It almost immediately brings me back to my game. I can't promise if it'll work for you the same way it does for me. But you could at least give it a try, maybe it would!
The world is full of opinions,
Step back, before you seek one.
Don't look for answers elsewhere,
Sit down, and look within for one.
Know thyself!
To Find yourself!!
Work up your headspace.
Reorient your universe.
You know what's wrong,
You know what's right.
Their safe bet shall go wrong,
Your wrong guess still might go right.
There's no golden rule,
Set your own rules.
There's no master plan,
Chalk out your plan.
Go with the feel,
Go with the flow.
Whether they vouch for it or not,
You gotta drive yourself through.
Trust your instinct,
Listen to gut feelings.
No plan can ever be full proof,
Move your butt, carry out your thing.
Avoid traps, avoid biases.
Yet be unapologetically you.
It's your bloody journey,
Nobody can walk it for you.
Don't wait for the clear morning skies,
Don't wait for the stillness of the night.
Don't fear omens, don't look for signs,
Get it straight in your head, it'll go right.
Passion preserves itself,
Experiences mature you.
When you find yourself stuck,
Slow down, look through you.
Explore!
It expands you.
Read!
It equips you.
Despite,
You'll still miss it!
Unless
Figure it out yourself too!
P.S: How do you like to go about things in life in general? Do you take someone else's opinion or like to go with your call before you make big bets?
I feel we can't know for sure pretty much everything on our own. Yet, it's still important that we learn to hear our call & head on it.
However, it's important that we first teach ourselves to arrive at the right judgment. Do share with me how you make your life decisions & how far you rely on yourself at Gmail.
