Written for OSI Prompt : Manifest..
Leopard’s Spots Can Be Changed….
He was arrogant
Reactive, living with the mantra
‘I, Me and Myself’
Always felt insecure and
Victimized by others
And hence, blamed..
Never let my other self
Who have always been positive
Ever take control of moments
And then one day it happened
My negative self
Died in a blast
Ignited by my very own
Positive Self, who decided
Enough was enough
And took the extreme step
The explosion shattered
As pieces of my ego
Flew and fell all around
Myths got depleted
Doubts were killed
Arrogance melted
False pride evaporated
And this all happened
In my inner space
As the image of my positive self
Slowly merged with me,
Manifesting itself through
The shine in my eyes
Glow on my face
Springs in my feet, with
A change in the colour of
My skin, hey, who says
You can’t change
The spots of a Leopard….
This poem comes out of my experiences in a Human MindSet Lab - Changing the Leopard's Spots.. conducted by dear friend and noted trainer Dr. Aashiesh S. Tavkarr, Ph.d., Pune, India this week. A very interesting lab with fantastic interventions which help one to understand one's inner space and one's orientation too while offering solutions to create a positive attitude towards life and create a mindset that makes one responsible for one's choices..
