Know Your "Why"

Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud

Maya Angelou

The breeze that blows away the fears

The rain that washes away the fatigue

The sunshine that the shoos away the fear

That's you to someone!

That is worth living for

And that's poetiquejustis

And do not forget to do good and to share with others, 

for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

Hebrews 13:16

Pathways

 A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.

Groucho Marx

Off the beaten path

There are ways to think and ways to see

Off the beaten path

The path that has been beaten

has little left to say

Just learn from those who beat that path

And beat your own today!

and that's poetiquejustis

So his master said, 'Go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges

 and urge anyone you find to come, so that the house will be full.

Luke 14:23

The Work-around

Don't let the things you can't do

get in the way of the things you can do.

John Wooden

There are things we know we must do

to get to where we want to go

and along the way, we find things we can't do

that still need to be done

No problem

Because we know that If we want to get there badly enough 

 We will just find another way

Because that is what we do

and that's poetiquejustis 

With God all things are possible.

Matthew 19:26

Finally?

Success is not final; failure is not fatal;

It is the courage to continue that counts.

Winston Churchill

Celebrate the wins

Evaluate the losses

Press on

Repeat

and that's poetiquejustis 

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge, and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness 

2 Peter 1: 5-6

Amuse Yourself

If you can walk, you can dance.

If you can talk, you can sing.

Zimbabwe saying.

Coco Chanel said:

"You only live once

you may as well be amusing."

Not a bad idea.

You know enough to close the windows

against the rain

And you know enough to open the curtains

to let in the sun

Today, do the same for your soul!

Protect your heart and your mind

from anything that does not make you want 

to dance and sing 

with joy

Go ahead...amuse yourself!

Look- you are smiling already!

and that's poetiquejustis

I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
Psalm 104:33

 

Prosper

Prosperity is only an instrument to be used, not a deity to be worshipped. 

Calvin Coolidge

I have had money

and I have been without money

Guess which I prefer?

But it is not just the money

It is what we can do for others 

when we have a little extra cash

that can really change our lives

The children we can feed

The research we can fund

The challenges 

we  can meet

Prosperity only propsers

when it is used to prosper others

otherwise, it is just a pile of money

and that is going to just float away

and that's poetiquejustis

 The rich are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, 

so that they may take hold of that which is truly life

I Timothy 6:18

Scatter

It is pretty easy to make people smile

All you have to do is think about what they need 

before you think about yourself

So...

Maybe it's time to stop giving the world a piece of our mind

And start giving the world 

a piece of our heart

Thomas Brooks said:

The best way to be doing ourselves good is to be doing good to others;

the best way to gather is to scatter.

And that's poetiquejustis

The best way to do ourselves good is to be doing good to others; the best way to gather is to scatter.

  Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. Philippians 2:3

All

I am here for a purpose, and that purpose is to grow into a mountain,

 not to shrink to a grain of sand.

Og Mandino

I will not shrink back

and disappear into the sands of time

I will not be made small

Because I was not created to be small

and I was not created by a small Creator

but one who made the whales of the sea

and eagles that soar-

That same Creator would not have made me to be a grain of sand

I will do all that I am meant to do

and be all that I am meant to be

and so will you

and that is poetiquejustis

 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Matthew 17:20

Of All Things

You got to try your luck at least once a day

because if you don't, you could be walking 

around all day lucky and never know it.

Jimmy Dean

Give it a shot

Give it a spin

If you fall on your face

 Give it a grin

Give it a whirl

Give it a try

But whatever you do

Don't let today pass you by

And that's poetiquejustis

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

Psalm 118:24

You gotta try your luck at least once a day because you could be going around lucky all day and not even know it.
