I defeated my destiny

Awesome! Motivation for many.

I really like your poem, Umesh. The message is a great one! It is us that create our own destinies by our diligence to our goals and through the principles that we choose to live by. Thanks for sharing.

Umesh,

I shared this one.

Lots of truth in this hub! Well done!

I think my destiny is the path I'm set on that I cannot control, like where I was born or what color my skin was. But what I do with that path once I am on it is up to me. I have ambitions and goals that I control. Or I'm delusional. Whatever.

Blessings,

Denise

Destiny is the runaway train and we hold on for the ride. Some will attempt to not get on board, yet she finds him at the next station.

Very thought-provoking poem.

Powerful poem, Umesh, and a strong voice.

To each his own. I loved the poem and believe that working hard is all that matters though destiny is preordained.

While God is all-knowing, we have the gift of free will. Destiny, in that regard, is similar to a moving piece of a puzzle. We can play it for better or worse.

This raises some interesting philosophical questions.

Destiny has been drawn out for each and every one of us, we need to roll with whatever we face knowing that we spiritually have the higher power to stand with us

Thanks for sharing

I think we all have a hand in our own destiny.

We can either accept the cards we have been dealt or venture for the ones we want.

So glad you are happy defeating yours.

May life treat you well.

Thanks for sharing.

A positive message, especially now, during troubled times. I am glad you defeated destiny. We have more opportunity than we know. It's up to the individual to have faith that our circumstances can and will change if we need them to.

A wonderful poem. I enjoyed it very much.

The logical side of me likes to think we do create our own destiny, however, the spiritual side believes that my destiny is already preordained. Perhaps the truth is somewhere in the middle. I enjoyed this thought provoking poem Umesh - beautifully written.

I learned a new quote about destiny about a year ago, after watching Baahubaali. "When a man uses faith as a weapon even destiny, with reverence, admits defeat". I think that may fit well with your poem?

I believe we can control our destiny, your poem conveys that beautifully.

I Like Chinese Movies. There is a very beautiful one called Man of Destiny. In the series, he is constantly fighting against destiny. I think he succeeded but my memory is vacant ... there was some sadness towards the end.

You can bring it up easily on google. It's Chinese and I like the ones with episodes. Much better and they take about two days or more to see.

That is the right approach. We should always do our duty, surrendering our efforts to God. To work we are entitled, but not to the results thereof.

There is Karma, but that is actually a complex thing to understand. But Grace from a Spiritual Master or directly from God Itself, always have the last word. Finally, action of itself has no power, what matters in action, is a live, vibrant awareness of the power of Spirit.

You poem is actually very beautiful and the first stanza is amazing! With a small touch and a deeper awareness of rhythm, you can make it even better! But as it is, it is still awesome!

Yes, it is a constant debate as to whether destiny, karma, kismet, whatever you like to call it is a real entity or not. I think the best we can do is to try hard at everything and hope for the best outcome. Good poem Umesh.
