Intrinsic Motivation

Read an article on Forbes, hence putting forth my own views in the line.

True that “Motivation is what you create.” It is intrinsic. Although we see people around us or the world leaders, the true motivation does not happen until we start appreciating our own tiniest success. As a result of your success, you can push your limits and become an inspiration for others too. Sometimes, you can inspire others to inspire yourself. It is similar to, “When you teach, you learn better.”

Online Poetess’s Story (Short read)

🌎🎤✒️▶️⏸️🙏

I first recited a poem in an interclass poetry competition when I was in grade 4. I remember the poem was given to me by my, then class teacher, Miss Shirley. The title of the poem was, “Johnny had a Nanny”

 

Johnny had a Nanny

A lovely lovely Nanny

 

And these are the only two lines that I remember. I tried several times to search for this poem over the internet but in vain. It is so close to my heart, I remember Miss Shirley giving me a piece of paper with the poem written on it in blue ink. (Yes, teachers and students—all used fountain pens in our school.)

Her handwriting ✒️ was so beautiful. I don’t know who the poet of the poem  was and I don’t know how Miss Shirley trusted me to recite the poem on mic 🎤.

Here I am… doing my own poetry renditions on YouTube and SoundCloud. And only I remember the story; I don’t even know whether Miss Shirley would remember it or not.(BTW I don’t know where she is now.)

No, I did not recite it with great expressions, so, obviously, I did not win the competition!

But the poem did what it had to do! It was some magical poem!!! Yes, magical 🧞‍♂️!

I am writing well enough, as many poems as I can, as best as I can! I am yet to improve in writing and in my renditions—I am doing it because I love it—I love it, maybe that is the reason people like it and appreciate me and my voice so much ❤️

A few years back, I started my poems’ online renditions after winning a 5000 INR (69.5 USD) prize for rendering someone’s poem (as asked by the organisers of the competition). I stood ‘second’ in the competition. I was motivated by a friendly colleague of mine who was sure that if I do it I would definitely win! And I did! I uploaded it on SoundCloud as I had to send the soundcloud link to the online magazine that had put up the competition. This event boosted my confidence and I continued with my soundcloud channel. The poem still exists on my channel [Sneha_K on #SoundCloud #hoteljnu

I am so thankful to Miss Shirley and the magazine (@SwarajyaMag) who gave me the opportunity to render poems👍🏻. I will be forever grateful 🙏 to them.

I am a poetess, I record my poems and upload them online. I desire▶️ my poetry renditions are heard a⏸️  over the 🌏. I earn from it—I earn love! 

BTW, my name does mean love and affection!!! 

Thank you for reading, Thank you for connecting with me! I ❤️ this place.

Those Who…

Are you among…?

🔽

Those who write their fortune with their hands are never scared,

🍁

Those who learn from failure do not lose even by losing.

🍁

Those who work hard with love,
they do not turn their back on the unfavourable circumstances,

🍁

Those who never meet the impossible,

The world bows down to them.

Can You Teach Yourself?

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

If you can teach yourself—

To smile.

Smile, when times are tough,

And the experiences are rough.

Not fake,

But a moment of contagiousness;

Your smile will go a long distance.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

If you can teach yourself—

To feel.

Feel, when times are tough,

And the experiences are rough.

Not pain,

But a moment of happiness;

Your feelings will pierce hearts of greatness.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

If you can teach yourself—

To move forward.

Get going, when times are tough,

And the paths are rough.

Not run away,

But facing the difficulties;

Your step ahead will be towards opportunities.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

If you can teach yourself—

To think.

Think and feel at the same time.

Experience the life that exists around.

Not a nasty thought,

But by rising above mind;

Your life will be in your control and fine.
