Brush Off!

When the sky is a bright canary yellow

I forget every cloud I've ever seen!

Lyrics: Rogers and Hammerstein

Cockeyed Optimist

We all know that our skies are not always going to be

bright canary yellow

But you can pretend

You can

you see...

you can live beneath a cloud

You can paint your own sky today

and brush the clouds away!

and that's poetiquejustis

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

I have never, ever focused on the negative of things. I always look at the positive.

Just Winging It

No bird soars too high

if he soars with his own wings

William Blake

Go ahead!

Soar

Flutter

Be focused

Go for it!

Just make sure you know

your wings

Know who you are

and then you will know how to "fly"

and that's poetiquejustis

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles

Isaiah 40:31

The Question Is....

“The question isn’t who is going to let me;

it’s who is going to stop me.”

Ayn Rand

Not everyone along the way

Is interested in your success

No matter

Not everyone cares about

Your goals

No matter!

Because as long as the person you see in the mirror is
committed to your goals you will

then there is no stopping you

so keep calm

and

and that's poetiquejustis

And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us

Hebrews 12:1

The Ins and Outs of Living

How am I going to live today

in order to live

the tomorrow I am committed to?

Tony Robbins

There are no days that do not count

There are no moments of unimportance

Whether you are working

Or dreaming

or simply being

your ship is sailing toward tomorrow

And that tomorrow will look like

Whatever you are committing to

today

And that's poetiquejustis

You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.

Isaiah 26:3

Taking Stock

Nothing is worth more than this day

Goethe

What would you trade for today?

Are you selling the day short?

Or are you investing in your dreams?

Are you building a portfolio of good things for tomorrow?

or are you waiting for things to get better on their own?

Take stock of your life

Take stock of your day

Before the sun goes down

and the market called "today"

closes

and that's poetiquejustis

But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called "Today,"

Hebrews 3:13

Come and Get it!

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast

Alfred Montapert

Today, You may have to crack a few eggs

before you get want you want

You may even feel like toast

before it is all over

Just remember what the writer

Elbert Hubbard said:

If you do not have any problems

you are out the game

So-

because it is game on

and that's poetiquejustis

                             God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation.
                                                                 James 5:12

Decisions

Freedom means choosing your burden

Hephzibah Menhudin

Decide

Decide who you are

Decide

What you want to do to make the world around you a better place

Decide that you will make the world around you

a better place

Decide

and do

and that's poetiquejustis

You Are My Hands

Where is My life? My people are dying
This is not what I meant the world to be
Where is my love? My children are crying
So many hearts full of pain and misery

But I set you free so you would be a living sign
For all to see that I live,
that I live.

I have no hands but yours,

I live my life through you
The written Word must be alive in you

I have no hands but yours,
I’'ve given all to you
You are my hands
I live my life through you.
