What do you think this poem is about?

Dare to Be

Open your eyes and look within.
Are you satisfied with the life you are living?
Do you wake up each morning
Grateful for a brand new day?
Do you lay on your bed,
Close your eyes and pray
For love?
For health?
For strength?
Yet not grasp the power
You have been given?

Open your eyes and look within.
Absorb the greatness inside you,
Leap for golden opportunities
As they lazily lay before you.
Glide with glistening goals,
Wave on wandering wishes,
Fulfill flying fantasies,
Dance with your deepest desires,
Sing your own sweet symphonies,
Taste tender temptations,
Prance on precious possibilities.

Open your eyes and look within.
Do not Hesitate
But Risk.
Do not Hide
But Seek.
Do not Learn
But Master.
Do not Dream
But Create.

Open your eyes and look within.
Dare to Be,
The magic you are made of.
