What Follows You Is Your History, But What Awaits You Is Your Destiny
You can shed the skin you have,
But you'll never
Shed
The world of
Your
Actions.
This is your
Legacy.
What will you
Do?
There are people
Who
Dive
And those
That
Scale
Mountains,
But they both
End up
In the same
Predicament when they
See the
Summit.
Do I keep going
Or
Turn
Back?
Only you decide
What
You
Do.
Who will you be in this
Storybook
We
Call
Life?
The hero
Or the villain?
A villain doesn’t make this story,
And a hero
Doesn’t
Complete it
Like a
Fairytale.
No hero was ever
Perfect,
And neither
Will you
Ever
Have to
Be.
Our weaknesses
Don’t have to be
The
Achilles’
Heels
Of our
Lives.
Instead of protecting your blind side,
Show
It.
Instead of running
From
Your shadow,
Greet it
With open
Arms.
What follows you
Is your
History,
But what awaits
You
Is your
Destiny.
Destiny
Shall always
Await
For those
That paint their own
Picture,
Write their own
Fate,
And live their own
Legacy.
The vulnerability of
Being
Truly
You
Is a greater deed
Than
Faking
Fearlessness.
Embracing fear
Puts your
Life in a
Gear
That makes
Sure the brakes
Are never
Fully applied.
You will accelerate
At a
Pace
That ensures
You don’t
Accidentally
Untie
A
Shoe
Lace.
Show courage
In the way you know
How.
Fight in the way
You can
Best.
Be the way
You want
To
Be.
After all,
That
Is all the world ever
Asks
Of
You
And
Me.
In this world of
Actions,
Our deeds
Have equal
And
Opposite
Reactions.
Some reactions
To what I do
Will prove
To the world
Who I can
Count
On,
And who
I need to
Count
Out.
A friend doesn’t choose
When to be one.
A foe always chooses
To become
One.
Why make enemies
Of our fellow
People?
Humans work
In
Mysterious
Ways.
The magic
Is not in the mystery,
But in the
Solution
The world
Conveys.
Embrace your
Friends
And
Foes
In a way that makes
Harmony
The
Only
Possibility.
At your core,
You
And
Your
Uniqueness
Are
What make you
Stand
Out.
In the pursuit of
Conforming,
We are not
Reforming.
Transforming
Ourselves
Into
Others
Isn’t
Unity,
It’s
Disparity.
As we grow
To
Try and be
Similar,
We create
Doers
Not
Thinkers.
Don’t
Fit
In.
Instead,
Show the world
What
You
Are
Made
Of
And
Stand
Out.
Never forget that
Your
Essence
Is
Defined by what you do,
Not what you
Don’t.
In essence,
Your being
Shows the world
What we need
More
Of:
Humanity
For
Our
Fellow
Human.
In all my years of trying to
Fit in,
Standing out
Is all I’ve ever
Wanted.
My question is this:
Do
You
Ever
Show
Destiny
That
You
Are
In
Control?
P.S. The highlighted, bolded, words throughout the poem form the final question! What will you do with destiny in your own hands?
As always,
Lots of Love,
Yatish
