English Poetry

life change poetry

never be discouraged
never hold back

give everything you’ve got fall forward

holding onto your dream and staying focused is really important

if I could come from a council estate in the middle of Stratford upon Avon

and live in seventeen houses before I was sixteen

and win three Michelin stars anybody who wants to come in and copy or use me as inspiration

then, you know, I’m the real deal

you know, in the beginning we went to every single label and every single label shut their door on us

um… the genius thing that we did

was we didn’t give up we didn’t say ‘because these guys’

you know, we used that what do they know approach you know, we didn’t give up at that point

you know, when I went to film school everybody said well you’re nuts, what are you going to film school for?

nobody from film school had ever gotten a job in the film business, it just had never happened

so you were just doomed to be a ticket ticker at Disneyland

so it was like 'why would you do that?'

you know 'why don’t you take a major you can actually get a job at?’

but, once I fell in love with it

there was no going back

even though I had absolutely no chance of making it in the film business

so, whatever you feel in your heart and in your gut you should follow that

follow that

and then if that changes one day, that’s fine too, then you follow that

but you’re the only one who knows, nobody else

you can’t let anyone tell you what your best is

you know what your best is and I work at it, you know

you can have whatever you want it just takes work

I’ve never really viewed myself as particularly talented

where I excel is ridiculous, sickening work ethic

you now, while the other guy is sleeping I’m working

while the other guy is eating I’m working

nobody works harder than me inside the octagon, outside the octagon

I am a workhorse

work your butt off you never want to fail because you didn’t work hard enough

I never wanted to lose a competition or lose an election because I didn’t work hard enough

I always believed leaving no stone unturned

Mohammed Ali, one of my great heroes, had a great line in the 70s when he was asked

‘how many sit ups do you do?’

he said ‘I don’t count my sit ups, I only start counting when it starts hurting, when I feel pain, that’s when I start counting

because that’s when it really counts, that’s what makes you a champion’

to become an entrepreneur is not easy and a lot of people who try to become entrepreneurs

they fail along the way but good ones pick themselves up

and they try again and try again until they succeed

if they can do it, I can do it and that is the mentality

if somebody else can do it, you can do it

and I said to myself, I will do it and I will do it better that is the mentality

don’t be afraid to fail anything I have ever attempted

I was always willing to fail

just the fact that I’m willing to fail is an inspiration

people are so scared to lose that they don’t even try

like, one thing that people can’t say is, they can’t say I’m not trying

that I’m not trying my hardest and I’m not trying to do it the best way

that I know how with what little information I get

don’t give up you will fail one thousand times

but then you’ll succeed and most people like to give up after they fail

because that’s when it feels like that’s when you’re supposed to give up

‘I tried, I failed. time to quit’

I totally disagree

failure really happens when you’ve decided that you no longer want to pursue that dream

that’s the moment of failure that’s the point when you turn the corner from

on your way to success to failing

I’ve often met people who are terrified, in a strait jacket of their own making

because they would rather do anything than fail they don’t want to try for fear of failing

well that’s the rock bottom thing rock bottom wasn’t fun, at all

I'm not going to romanticise rock bottom but it was liberating

what did I have to lose?

I’ve found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks
nothing.

Reggie Jackson struck out 2600 times in his career, the most in the history of baseball

but you don’t hear about the strike outs, people remember the home runs

Thomas Edison conducted one thousand failed experiments

did you know that? I didn’t know that

because the one thousand and first was the light bulb

I wanted it as bad as I wanted to breathe and even failure wasn’t enough to make me quit

silent words

the majority of people are not

successful because they prepare to quit

they have a mental program that it's

okay to prepare more for Queenie than

preparing to succeed and we'll make my

dreams the reality nobody gonna stop me

but me that's the only person that can

understand if you want to make your

dreams of reality you've got to

understand that you can't quit

but this is our moment gentlemen this

right here is our moment guys
that's the

I don't come in here having y'all

practice for Pop Warner I don't come in

here ready to have you off practice and

play against some high school team some

college team I'm preparing the wall we

got the week to face down revenues

that's right the old you that you gonna

face soon as you get out that gate

I'm right here lost his head because of

a boy I've sling in a smooth rock he had

know-how and he had the desire to quit

what is life philosophy

so
live your life that the fear of death

can never enter your heart

trouble no one for their religion

respect others in their view

and demand that they respect yours too

love your life perfect your life

beautify all things in your life

seek to make your life long and its

purpose

in the service of your people

prepare a noble death song

for the day when you pass over the great

divide

always give a word or a sign of salute

when meeting or passing a friend

even a stranger when in a lonely

place

show respect to all people and grovel to

none

when you arise in the morning give

thanks for

food and the joy of living

if you see no reason to give thanks

the blame lies only on yourself

abuse no one and no thing

for abuse turns the wise into fools

and robs the spirit of its vision

it comes your time to die

be not like those whose hearts are

filled with the fear of death

so that when their time comes

they weep and pray for a little more

time to live their lives over again

in a different way

sing your death song

and die like a hero going home
you

alone motivational quotes in english

when

i have fears that i may cease to be

before my pen has gleaned my teeming

brain before

high piled books in character

hold like rich garners the full

ripened grain

when i behold upon the night's starred

face

huge cloudy symbols of a high romance

and think that i may never live

to trace their shadows with the magic

hand of chance

and when i feel fair creature of an

hour that i shall never look upon thee

never have relish in the fairy power

of unreflecting love

then on the shore of the wide world i

stand alone

and think to love

and fame to nothingness to think

Such words are used in this post that you will change your life by reading it

in the morning

before dressing light incense and

meditate

retire at a regular hour

partake of food at regular intervals

eat with moderation and never to the

point of satisfaction

receive a guest with the same attitude

you have

when alone when alone maintain the same

attitude you have

in receiving guests

watch what you say and whatever you say

practice it

when an opportunity comes do not let it

pass you by

yet always think twice before acting

do not regret the past look

to the future

have the fearless attitude of a hero

and the loving heart of a child

upon retiring sleep as if you had

entered your last

sleep

upon awakening leave your bed behind you

instantly as if you had cast away a pair
of

old shoes

let go or be dragged

when you do something you should immerse

yourself

completely leaving no room for thinking

live by letting things happen

treat every moment as your last it is

not

preparation for something else

cease to cherish your opinions

as a bee gathering nectar does not harm

or disturb the color

and fragrance of the flower the wise

move through the world

peace comes from within do not seek it

without

act without expectation

do not follow the ideas of others but

learn

to listen to the voice within yourself

face it accept it deal with it

then let it go

you are exactly where you need to be

one loses joy and happiness in the

attempt

to possess them

to seek is to suffer to seek nothing

is bliss

wherever you are be there totally

if you want to change the world start

with the next person

who comes to you in need

drink your tea slowly and reverently

as the earth revolves on its axis

slowly evenly without rushing

toward the future

we are here to awaken from our illusion

of separateness

let go of your attachment to the self

let your mind wander in the pure and
simpler
you

the greatest

when i die

when my coffin is carried out

you must never think i am missing this

world

do not shed any tears

do not lament or feel sorry i am not

falling into a monster's abyss

when you see my corpse carried out

do not cry for my leaving

for i am not leaving

i am arriving at eternal love

when you leave me in the grave do not

say goodbye remember

a grave is only a curtain for the

paradise behind

you will only see me descending into

a grave now

watch me rise

how can there be an end when the sun

sets

or the moon goes down

it looks like the end

it seems like a sunset

but in reality it is the dawn

when the grave locks you up

that is when your soul is freed

have you ever seen a seed planted in

earth

not rise with new life

why should you doubt the rise of a seed

named human

have you ever seen a bucket lowered into

a well

come back empty

why lament for a soul when it can come

back

like joseph from the well

when and for the last time you close

your mouth

your words and soul will belong to the

world

of no place and no

time

you

life change words

nature's first green is gold

or artist you to hold

her early leaves a flower but only so an

hour then leaves subsides to leaf so

Eden sank to grieve so dawn goes down

today nothing gold can stay

you

Poems for Late Night Listening

the day is cold and

dark and dreary

it rains and the wind is never weary

the vine still clings to the mouldering

wall

but at every gust the dead leaves fall

in the day is dark and dreary

my life is cold and dark and dreary

it rains and the wind is never weary

my thoughts still cling to the moldering

past

but the hopes of youth fall thick

in the blast

and the days are dark and dreary

be still sad heart

and cease repining

behind the clouds is the sun still

shining

thy fate is the common fate of

all into each

life some rain must fall

some days must be dark

and dreary

you

A Life Changing Poem for Dark Times

defeat my defeat my solitude and my

aloofness you are dearer to me and a

thousand triumphs and sweeter to my

heart all world glory defeat my defeat

myself knowledge and my defiance through

you I know that I am yet young in the

Swift of foot and not to be trapped by

withering laurels and in you I have

found the lowness

and the joy of being shunned and scorned

defeat

mine defeat my shining sword and shield

your eyes I have read that to be

enthroned is to be enslaved and to be

understood is to be leveled down and to

be grasped his but to reach one's

fullness and like a ripe fruit to fall

and be consumed defeat my defeat my bold

companion you shall hear my songs and my

cries and my silences a none but you

shall speak to me of the beating of

wings and urging of seas and of

mountains that burn in the night and you

alone shall climb my steep and rocky

soul

defeat my defeat my deathless courage

you and I shall laugh together the storm

and together we shall dig graves for all

that die in us and we shall stand in the

Sun with the will and we shall be

dangerous

Such words change your life

out of the night that covers me black as

the pit from pole to pole I thank

whatever God's may be for my

unconquerable soul in the fell clutch of

circumstance I have not winced nor cried

aloud under the bludgeonings of chance

my head is bloody but unbowed beyond

this place of Wrath and tears looms but

the horror of the shade and yet the

Menace of the year's finds and shall

find me unafraid it matters not how

Strait the gate how charged with

punishments the scroll I am the master

of my fate I am the captain of my soul

you

Alone Powerful Life Poetry

from

childhood's hour i have not been

as others were i

have not seen as others saw

i could not bring

my passions from a common spring

from the same source i have not taken

my sorrow i could not awaken

my heart to joy at the same tone

and all i loved i loved alone

then in my childhood

in the dawn of a most stormy life

was drawn from every depth of good and

ill the mystery which binds me still

from the torrance or the fountain

from the red cliff of the mountain

from the sun that round me rolled

in its autumn tint of gold

from the lightning in the sky as it

passed

me flying by

from the thunder and the storm

and the cloud that took the form

when the rest of heaven was blue

of a demon in my view

you

life changing words of wisdom

it is no longer good enough to cry peace

we must act peace live peace and live

in peace

when a man moves away from nature his

heart

becomes hard

it is better to have less thunder in the

mouth

and more lightning in the hand

don't be afraid to cry it will free your

mind of sorrowful

thoughts

there is no death only a change of

worlds

what is life it is the flash of a

firefly in the night

it is the breath of a buffalo in the

wintertime

it is the little shadow which runs

across the grass

and loses itself in the sunset

if we wonder often the gift of knowledge

will come

those who have one foot in the canoe and

one foot in the boat

are going to fall into the river

man has responsibility not

power

when we show our respect for other

living things

they respond with respect for us

wisdom comes only when you stop looking

for it

and start living the life the creator

intended for you

when you were born you cried and the

world rejoiced

live your life so that when you die the

world cries

and you rejoice

we will be known forever by the tracks

we leave

a rocky vineyard does not need a prayer

but a pickaxe

our first teacher is our own heart

remember that your children are not your

own

but are linked to you by the creator

life is not separate from death it only

looks that way

humankind has not woven the web of life

we are but one thread within it whatever

we do to the web

we do to ourselves all things are bound

together

all things connect

the frog does not drink up the pond in

which he lives

before eating always take time

to thank the food

you
