Poetry and literature is often inspirational and motivational.. The following are part of an inspirational-motivational poem collection used in a mindfulness based stress reduction training I attended at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. (circa 1995) that Dr. Jon Kabat Zinn headed up. Enjoy!!!
and you felt the old tug at your ankles.
though their meloncholy was terrible.
and the road full of fallen branches and stones.
If you leave it you may come back again, saying Here.
out for some new delight.
Sit. Fest on your life.
which is what I've been doing all day.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mione.
All sorts of things occur to help that would never otherwise have occurred.
and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would come his way.
Whatever you do or dream you can, begin it.
