Live Your Dreamt Reality


I may not know what tomorrow holds for me
But I remember how my yesterday was
And I can ensure how my today will be.
 
There will always be people undermining you,
Stand tall to them.
There will always be people doubting your skills,
Kill them with your flair.
There will always be people telling you how to behave,
Smile and do your thing your way.
There will always be people telling you what not to do,
Listen and let the rational you think.
There will always be people telling you you are too dominant,
Give them the ‘leadership’ look.
There will always be people telling you to abide hierarchy,
Tell them you give a ‘mango’
There will always be people telling you you are ‘weird & radical’
Like my friend said, believe you are ‘limited edition’
There will always be people telling you you can’t make a change,
Tell them at least you are trying.
 
Yet there will be people who will know
You have a wild streak and it is fine
You lead by nature and it is fine
You are not so ‘normal’ and it is fine
You are you and it is fine!
 
Live your life thinking of the latter group
The former will always be larger,
More intimidating, more disruptive…
But the power lies in your beliefs,
Your thoughts and your actions.
You are the maker of your destiny,
Carve your niche,
Believe in your endeavours,
Live your dreamt reality!
 
**Dedicated to the friends I know who dare to be different, who inspire me to tread a new path, who are making a difference to this society through their words and actions.
