You are born into greatness,
All too often get resigned to mediocrity,
by the toxic information around us.
And maybe the people around us,
are the information we consume.
Feeding your fire
a process,
a habit of consistently allowing ,
only useful information in orbit.
Feeding your fire
a protection mechanism,
an idea that is
you can't inspire
if you are de-inspired.
Feeding your fire
is doing whatever
on daily basis
because your days are
your life in miniature and
as you live each day,
so you handcraft your life.
So feeding your life
is reading the heroic books
that causes you
go deep
and see how the greatest
women and men of the world did,
what they did.

Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white human brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just overtop the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.

I know about the de-inspired part. One has to drag themselves out of the funk and rise above the negativity or else you fade away. A very though provoking poem.
Go deep.... yes
good poem
Oooo, this was so true and very profound! Loved your poem!
Your words encourage a daily practice of seeking wisdom and learning from the achievements of remarkable individuals, wonderful work, a nice weekend!
An amass of encouraging lines. Priya, you nailed it !!!
Indeed, we cannot inspire others if we ourselves are not inspired. Well said.
Amazing work
Marvelous; I loved this: you can't inspire if you are de-inspired.
