OWN: Your Core
Take the time
To understand your
Own core. What is it?
If you keep circling
The periphery,
You might miss out
On what’s integral.
Your core is yours.
If you make someone
Else or something else
Your core, knowingly
Or unknowingly,
You might
Pay a heavy price.
No matter what they
Say or do, know it
Doesn’t shake your core.
The fundamental
Truth of who you are.
Always remember
It’s your core.
Has nothing to do
With them.
LIBERATE: Bind or Liberate
You can tap into
Anything that happens
To you or in your life
To bind or liberate you.
This is irrespective
Of how you perceive
Or judge
What has transpired,
As good or bad.
You can tap into
Anything that happens
To you or in your life
To bind or liberate you.
Choose to liberate,
Set yourself free.
RISE: Paper Rockets
As a ball of paper
Being pushed around
By the wind,
You’re not going
Anywhere you want.
It’s fine if you only
Want to wander about,
And find joy in that.
But if you want
To make something
Of yourself,
You’re going to need
Direction.
Where does
That come from?
Your purpose.
It transforms you from
A wandering ball of paper
Being pushed around
By the wind,
To a strong self-propelled
Rocket aiming straight
To the fulfillment
Of your life’s purpose.
A transformative poetic adventure of empowerment through self-discovery awaits. Here's your ticket!

The Concept
What does it mean
To be in-powered?
In simple terms,
It means to be
Powered from within.
To make the shift
From operating
Outside-in to inside-out.
External measures
Of success serve
As valuable feedback.
But the drive?
That’s intrinsic.
You take full responsibility
For wherever you
Find yourself. And begin
To work with what
You can influence
To make your life better.
At the heart of it, to be
In-powered
Is to self-empower
Through
Self-discovery.
When you do this,
You build and operate
From an inner realm
That can better withstand
The tests of time.
You put in the internal
Work of genuinely
Getting to know yourself.
Tap into these findings
To empower yourself
To create joyfully
A life fueled by
Passion and purpose.
Figure out how
To serve the world while
Doing what you love.
Get yourself to a place
Where no matter
What happens, you know
You’ll figure out how
To make the best of it.
Not just because
You believe in optimism
But because
You’ve consciously
Invested in and built
The character
And competency
To function effectively
In the world while
Being true to yourself.
