@ebaysingers SMOOCHES! *wink*

[Beyondconsciousness]

[MrHazeification]

religion nees to be left out of poetry, it ruins the vibe, i go from feeling

'wow this is something'

then to

'damn bible bashers'

[estari4life]

@MrHazeification I feel ya hunni :-) If you watched my other vids, you'd know I'm far from a bible thumper. I just loved the message in this poem. Reminds me of my own strength :-)

[charlieseable]

@MrHazeification Last time I looked poetry was about the expressed feelings of the poet, whether religious or non-religious.

[avilesnba]

this quote is amazing...the religious parts are unneeded. its a great example of how we can be great human beings without religious virtues, but rather through thought and human experience...nonetheless, great poem, speech, quote, whatever....just truly inspiring words

[estari4life]

@avilesnba I totally agree with you. Religion is not necessary in order to step into your own greatness. I speak about that a lot in my other videos. My message is about mental freedom, which leads to empowerment.

[avilesnba]

i love the emphasis on mental freedom...it seems like everything in todays society is designed to cage us within our own fears, within our own concerns that revolve life, where in reality the emphasis should be on a freedom that goes beyond a physical state and into a mental one. Its only then that we would be able to truly advance as a human civilization...

[WomanInTransition]

But Ummm, NO, Don't do this, leave me sittin' here like Wut? Who da?Wut? "Denzel who"?

[thewisconsinboy]

It's a great poem, but I prefer Timo Cruz's version in Coach Carter. I always feel uncomfortable when people talk about "god." The movie version left out the part that talks about being one of god's children and personally it's so much more effective for me.

[estari4life]

@thewisconsinboy I used to feel uncomfortable when people used the word "god" too because most of the time when it is used it's completely tainted by religion. When I say god in this poem, I'm actually referring to the boundless energy source that connects us all. I believe in our own inner greatness, but I do not believe in religion. Thanks for watching! :-)

[estari4life]

@TiffanniRhea It's such a great reminder, isn't it?

[1971SuperLead]

That was brillant!

[estari4life]

@1971SuperLead Thank you! I'm in LOVE with this poem! :-)

[estari4life]

@1971SuperLead It truly is a brilliant poem! Such a perfect reminder of our own magnificence isn't it? :-)

[01askimbenim]

oh my god.. i just love this poem.. it makes soo much sense to me...

[estari4life]

@01askimbenim Absolutely! This poem really says it all!

[estari4life]

@01askimbenim Me too! I remember hearing it years ago and I just can't seem to let it go! :-) It's phenomenal! Thanks for watching :-)

[01askimbenim]

@estari4life

i hope to reach my goals, and make my dreams come true..and shine :))) thanks for ur reply!!

[queenr24]

You delivery was strong yet gentle, goes straight to my heart everytime brillant

You made it alive

[estari4life]

@queenr24 Thank you so much for the compliment. I truly love this poem and I equally love when people are able to be still enough to appreciate it. :-)

[ImSoBlazed]

i prefered the actor on coach carter, his delivery was amazing.

[estari4life]

@ImSoBlazed His delivery certainly was amazing. Clearly I'm not an actor, but I do love this particular poem. Thanks for watching.

[ImSoBlazed]

@estari4life Your welcome, you delivered it well too, good job.

[ImSoBlazed]

@estari4life You're welcome, keep it up:-)

[CalienteBonita]

@ImSoBlazed His delivery was great HOWEVER, i recently noticed that he didnt even say the whole poem. womp womp. And those who complain about the religious component get over it. The woman who wrote this poem obviously added that part for a reason. That's the problem with some people today, you cant just accept something for what it is and to complain about God...tisk tisk like i said get over it

[ImSoBlazed]

@CalienteBonita I haven't expressed any negative comments like the one's you have listed..?

[MusicaAngela]

I think your delivery is wonderful. Thank you for putting this on youtube!

[willblundie]

Loved your delivery!

[evrgreeneyes]

[lawllercoaster]

[Smiilesz4544]

I love this speech it was writtenby Nelson Mandela aroud 1994

[amanda2173]

[robsonchimenge]

Coach Cater

[amanda2173]

Marianne wialliamsom in her book Return to love

[saradekali]

I love Marianne Williamson and this is one of her best messages to humanity.

Her book "A Return To Love" is a classic as far as I'm concerned.

[Freakmidget07]

it sounds really inspiring when it is said in a scene of coach carter it is definetly worth checking out or see the movie cuz the whole movie is inspiring!!

[GotItLikeDat4U]

Deep thoughts ....Im feel this one...stop thru sometimes

[estari4life]

Yeah, the message is quite inspiring.

[SpiritOfTheRainbow]

I loved this when Nelson Mandela used it and I love it when you speak it...Shine on, you wonderful, wonderful soul!

[estari4life]

It's such a wonderful poem, isn't it? It's been used in so many movies because of it's universal message about the true nature of the human spirit. I heard it years ago and the words never left me. :-)

[Hoobtastic]

Is that a poem?

[estari4life]

Yes, even though it doesn't rhyme at all. :-) But I can still feel the magnitude of the message. Can you sweetie?

[Hoobtastic]

Sure. Pretty powerful stuff.

[deborahdaughter7]

[estari4life]

[Spassbremse123]
