“A moment’s insight is sometimes worth a life’s experience” -Oliver Wendell Holmes.
I had written this post about Introspection about six months ago but since we are travelling the road to Self-discovery this month as part of my monthly theme feature, I thought it relevant to share the post once again. We read the motivational stuff all the time but tend to forget it soon. So, it may not be a bad idea to have a relook at it 🙂
Here’s the link to the post:
Introspection: Let’s Know Ourselves Better
I am sharing a snippet from the post here:
If you are alone at the top of the ladder,
If you are struggling to talk to a friend,
If no one is happy at your success,
If no one cares for your happiness,
If you are frightened by your shadow,
If you’ve lost the will to live,
If trust comes at a price,
And faith has lost its voice,
If you are terrified of the darkness,
And troubled over light too,
If happiness can’t cheer,
And tears don’t upset you,
If you have no goal or ambition,
And no will to succeed,
If you are afraid to be loved,
And know no means to care,
If nature fails to make you smile,
And ruses of kids raise anguish,
It’s time…
It’s time to pause,
It’s time to breathe,
It’s time to stop deceiving yourself,
It’s time to listen to the voice of your soul,
It’s time to search for self,
It’s time to introspect!!
Nice poem.. especially because you specified when you don’t worry upon your tears..
Thanks for your lovely words dear Akhila.
