Need an Attitude Adjustment in 25 Seconds?

Need an Attitude Adjustment in 25 Seconds?

You Can Be Whatever You Want to BeToday, I want to share an inspirational poem that I have read continually since my college days:

You Can Be Whatever You Want To Be

There is inside you

all the potential to be whatever

you want to be ~

all of the energy to do whatever

you want to do.

Imagine yourself as you would like to be,

doing what you want to do,

and each day, take one step

towards your dream.

And though at times it may seem too

difficult to continue,

hold on to your dream.

One morning you will awake to find

that you are the person you dreamed of ~

doing what you wanted to do ~

simply because you had the courage

to believe in your potential

and to hold on to your dream.

~ Donna Levine

I hope this poem inspires you! You have the capabilities inside you to change the world in our wonderful profession. I am thankful that I help seniors every single day.  Tip:  Read it out loud, it goes into your subconscious brain faster.

  1. Very inspiring and positive. Thank you.

  2. Inspirational poems or compositions are not something I especially like. There two likes I share with you, though. One is the belief that you can indeed be what you really want to be. Another is the passion for promoting housing and services for seniors. That is why I enjoyed the poem that you publish and I’ve shared it with friends that also share those two ideals. Thanks a lot.

    • Thanks for your comments.

    Thank you much Diane for shring this beautiful poem with us. It is going to be my daily prayers since now .

  5. Thank you Diane for sharing your inspirational poem…very uplifting.

    May I also suggest a little short story by Bob Burg and John David Mann “The Go-Giver”.
    It is a parable with a message that, not unlike the poem you shared, will truly touch your heart and inspire you to pay it forward.
