Strive to Thrive

How little can be done under the spirit of fear

Florence Nightingale

If we are fearful

we cannot create

we cannot love

we cannot dream

we cannot really live

But when  we face our fears?

When we walk upon the clouds rather than under them

Ah...that is life under
new management

and that's poetiquejustis

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. 

The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

1 John 4:18

It's Time to Imagine

Live out your imagination

not your history

Arthur Bryan

History is great

Some of my favorite people can be found there

It's a nice place to visit

But it is not a place to live

Living takes place in your today

 You are not who you were

and the world is not what it was

so

And that's poetiquejustis

Don’t ask, 

“Why were things better in the old days than they are now?”

 It isn’t wisdom that leads you to ask this!

Ecclesiastes 7:10

Day by Day

He harvested the timber but forgot to replant the forest

Ken Follett

The Fall of Giants

Open mouth

Insert coffee

Hit the ground

Start running

Face email after email

Deliver answers and solutions

Hour after hour

Day after day

When are you going to "replant the forest" and give yourself some time 

to grow?

 and that's poetiquejustis

Psalms 55:6 

And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!  I would fly away and be at rest

Limits?

Until you believe in yourself

you ain't gonna have a life

Rocky Balboa

You can believe in fate

You can believe in luck

You can even believe in make believe

But you have no idea what believing really is

Until you believe

in you

And that's poetiquejustis

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

Philippians 4:13

Wrinkle Free Thinking

For every minute you remain angry, 
you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A wrinkle mind...

Steamed?

Focused on life's wrinkles?

Shake it out!

Shake it off!

let it go

Or iron it out

Who wants to be seen in a wrinkled mind?

and that's poetiquejustis

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world,

 but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Romans 12:2

What is enough?

The lure of quantity is the most dangerous of all

Simone Weil

Enough

Too much

Enough

Too Much

Enough

Never enough

And that's poetiquejustis 

So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. 

Just as I have loved you, you should love each other

John 13:34

Fill the Page

I want to live my life, not record it.

Jackie Kennedy

Freshly fallen snow

A new sheet of paper

Your new day

All empty and waiting for you!

So go!!!

Make some footprints

make a friend

Fill up the page

Tell your story

Make this day your own

Only you can create this day that was meant to be yours

and that's poetiquejustis

Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5
