Sports / Life poems

If we believe
In our own
Self-transcendence-task
Then there can be
No unreachable goal.


Never allow anyone
To clip the silver wings
Of your golden dreams.


Go beyond, farther beyond!
Do not limit yourself
By comparing yourself with others
Or even with your own self.


Victory
Can never be mine
If I am not willing
To take chances.


Do not think
That you cannot do it.


Adversity makes you dynamic.
Adversity endows you
With faith in yourself.


Never stop
Once you have started.


Two of my long-lost companions
Have now come back:
My inner poise
And my outer courage.


There is no such thing
As impossibility.


No matter how many times I fail
I shall not give up,
For my goal
Will not accept
Any defeat.


If you dare to fail,
You are bound
To succeed.


What is a challenge,
If not a friend
In disguise
To strengthen us?


You must trust yourself,
Even when the whole world
Doubts you.


Self-transcendence means
Self-expansion
In every way.


I do not give up
I never give up.


The fullness of life
Lies in dreaming
And manifesting
The impossible dream.


Deepen your faith
In yourself.
Nothing will be able to frighten
Or weaken you.


If you wait for opportunities
To become easily available
Then you will never be able
To succeed in life.


Don't discuss,
Don't think,
Just do!


If your progress in one field
Is obstructed,
Go another way.
Only do not give up
The idea of progress.


Enthusiasm
Rules the inner world.
Determination
Rules the outer world.
Therefore
Happiness has become
His real name.


Do not accept failure!
If you accept failure
You are lowering yourself
In your own estimation.


Keep trying!
It so often happens
That the last key opens the door.


Trust not what you hear,
Trust not what you see,
But trust
What you feel.


The cheerfulness of
The heart
And the determination of
The mind
Can perform any miracle
They want to.


Life has no limits
It is the mind the creates
Life's so-called limits.


Not to believe
Is to invite
Failure.


The real destination
Is always ahead of us,
Not behind.


Wisdom knows
No fear, no doubt
And no failure.


If you want to succeed
In your outer life,
Then you must always hold fast
To your inner beliefs.


Do not give up!
It is only believing
That keeps us alive
And inspires us to look forward.


In achieve success
In any field of life,
An all-out self-giving effort
Is required.


Determination and impossibility
Are never to be found
Together.


Be careful of your mind!
Your mind can trick you
Any day,
At any moment.


The beginning has to be
At any moment.
The end has to be
Never.


If you are going to be
Successful in life,
Then we must put all our dreams
Immediately into action.


Bring to the fore your hidden
Capacities,
Not only to do something great,
But also to become something good.


Continue, continue and continue,
And all the time try to transcend
Your previous limits.


By thinking positively
That you can be better,
You can have hope and determination
To do better in the future.


The outer strength disappears
When the inner power
Goes to sleep.


Yesterday's accomplishments
Are definitely meant
For yesterday only.


Think of yourself as a river
Constantly flowing at top speed.
Your mind
Will never be discouraged,
And your heart
Will never be disheartened.


We must never hesitate.
Today we may take short steps,
But tomorrow we may take
Long, longer, longest steps,
And the day after tomorrow
We may run and sprint
And arrive at our destination,
Far beyond our imagination.


Do not waste away
Today's golden opportunity
It will never come back.


Where the battle is,
The goal also
Has to be there.


If the heart's belief
Does not become the life's action,
Then that belief is hardly better
Than disbelief.


There is nothing
That is not within the reach
Of an aspiring human being.


Challenge
All your insurmountable obstacles.
You are bound to succeed.


He who has hope
Along with determination
Will one day see his life
Fully blossomed.


To win life's ultimate race,
What we need
Is only endurance and patience.


Self-discovery
Can only be found on
Self-conquest.


The vision that has
No determination
Cannot be manifested
On earth.


An enthusiasm-life
And an eagerness-heart
Know no insurmountable barriers.


My mind's readiness
And my heart's willingness
Are as powerful as ocean waves.


A bright future is there for us all
If we feel that we are becoming
Younger than yesterday
To embrace new dreams
And new promises.


When you are determined
To face bravely
The difficulty ahead of you,
The difficulty itself surrenders to you -
To your wide surprise.


You will always remain
Unfamiliar to defeat
If you carry a smile
That touches every heart.


The determination
In your heroic effort
Will permeate your mind
And heart
Even after your success
Or failure
Is long forgotten.


Each individual
Is a runner along eternity's road,
Passing on
The inspiration-torch of life.


Determination
Can change your mind.
Determination
Can change your heart.
Determination
Can change your life
Altogether.


There is only one dream
That will always be perfect
In your lifetime,
And that is the dream
Of self-transcendence.


Where your sacrifice is,
There will as well be your delight.


Determination and enthusiasm
Can easily bring about
A totally new and inspiring life.


Where there is
Eagerness
There can be no
Failure.


Your tremendous success and progress
Will transform
Your temporary pressures
Into enrichening treasures.


We shall definitely be successful in life
If we take each outer difficulty
As an inner opportunity.


Discouragement sets in
When we stop challenging
The mounting pressures of life.


Do not allow fear
To claim your heart
As its home.


We must always hold fast
To higher ideals.
If we lower our ideals,
We shall meet with nothing
But real frustration
And false satisfaction.


Depression paralyses
The life-energy
Of the body.


~Sri Chinmoy
