    I have always questioned myself
    About who I am and what I can.
    At times I sought others help
    To get to know where I stand.

    This helped me to see the large gap
    Between my perception and reality.
    I then vowed to reduce this gap;
    Devised a detail plan with clarity.

    Alas, it confused me more sooner.
    I went back to square one for days.
    One step ahead made me to rather
    Go many back, leaving me dazed.

    Then I decided to go with what
    Works for me for a short time.
    Happy to tick the items from start,
    I felt a lot closer to good time.

    I moved up and soon realized that
    What took me there will not assist
    In taking me further. I had to start
    With many things new though I resist.

    One fine day I got it more.
    This is a continuous task.
    There is still a lot to score.
    I shook myself; started to ask.

    There is so much that you can get.
    Ensure that you reciprocate in kind
    To somebody else; or you'll forget.
    You sure will soon be a rare find!

    Very nice poem, you have beautifully portrayed from the first few lines till the end, how we think who we are, and what we can achieve and check mark only to find out that our list is not over but begins from the bottom and continues. But your conclusion is awesome, from what you have received, to pass it on, so others benefit. You found that rare gem and have acquired it only to become one for others to find it, acquire it and pass it on, that way the positive energy keeps flowing. Thinking Ahead in your poem Ahead! Good one RGS !

    Nice description of how we play with our thoughts sometimes we think of so many strategies, yet they fail to bring a positive change, finally we get back to that point where we used to be , doing things the moment itself without sticking to a plan , its the need of the hour rather a long term plan that works

    Happy to receive a first from you RohsiK.
    And yes, you are absolutely right where, when it is time for execution, we spend time searching the tools that are nonexistent. -rgs
