Just some thoughts...

Every day, as I write Poetiquejustis, I pray it will be a blessing to someone.
Today, I hope it is you.

That Venerable Veneer

There is no short cut to achievement. 
Life requires thorough preparation 
- veneer isn't worth anything.
George Washington Carver


Building a life:


Every builder needs a plan

“I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacation with better care than they do their lives. Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change.” ~ Jim Rohn 
so....
Have a plan


"Moreover, there are many workmen with you, stonecutters and masons of stone and carpenters, and all men who are skillful in every kind of work. - See more at: http://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Carpenters#sthash.UpnWTCk9.dpuf

Know what you have to work with
who are you?
what do you love?
"The loftier the building, the deeper the foundation must be laid"
Thomas a Kempis
so...
dig deep

now...
Choose your materials
"A person has the right, and I think the responsibility, to develop all of their talents."
Jessye Norman  



Not every thing is going to be smooth going 
so 
Sand off the rough edges 
Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful
Zig Ziglar
Ready?


OK...
Nail down your ideas
Commitment is an act, not a word
Jean-Paul Sartre
And don't just give your life color



Give it some pazazz
If you are quiet, you are not living
You have to be noisy, and colorful and lively
Mel Brooks
 One last thing...
now that you have built a life 
that you can live with

Move in

and live
and that's poetiquejustis
