Quietly ambitious

 

There's no shame in enjoying a quiet life. 

Daniel Radcliffe

Living a quiet life is not as easy as it sounds

 Chaos calls from everywhere

 

And urgency is tyranny

 

                                                    It is a world where something is always breaking

When the world invites you to the chaos

 

 

  Refocus

                                          so you will have  peace to share with others 

                                              Because that is what we all need right now

                                                             and thanks poetiquejustis

                                                Make it your ambition to live a quiet life

I Thessalonians 4:11

Growing on Purpose

 

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

You will not shrink back

and disappear in to the sands of time

                           You were created by the same God who made the wonders of the sea!

The One who made the eagle to soar

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

to be blown about by the winds of change

                                                  Purpose in your heart to do all you were meant to do

And what is that?

Living a life having and giving peace, love, and joy

and that is poetiquejustis

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. — Romans 8:28

Turn Ahead

 

A bend in the road is not the end of the road 

unless you fail to make the turn

Unknown Author

 

What looks like a dead end

is really

New beginnings

Road blocks?

Just a detour

End of the road?

Start of a new life

 Go...

Make the turn

 

and that's poetiquejustis

This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls....."

Jeremiah 6:16

Commit Yourself

 

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

Inspiration to Aspiration

 

Faith is love taking the form of aspirations. 

W E Channing

Aspire....to breathe something into life

With the breath within you

Aspire to once again

Fill a dream with hope and a hope with faith and with love

In the  words of Benjamin Mee:

“You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.”

That's inspiring

and that's poetiquejustis

 ...because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

James 1:3

Stepping Up

 

One may walk over the highest mountain 

one step at a time

John Wanamaker

John Wanamaker bought an abandoned railway station 

and built a department store

When no one really knew what a department store was

He found a mountain and climbed it

One step at a time

Andrew Carnegie started as a poor immigrant

who operated the telegraph

He turned his dreams in to steel

and his fortune in to libraries for the country

He climbed his mountain

one step at a time

You may not have found your mountain yet

But that does not mean you cannot take a step

and then another

and then another 

and before your know it

You will have reached the the other side of a mountain

that you did not even know was there

and you did it-

one step at a time. 

And that's poetiquejustis

"Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them."

Mark 11:23

Can You See It?

 

Without naivete there is no beauty

Diderot

We can learn so much from the artwork of kids

They take colors in hand and consider the empty page their own

They fill it with abandon and with freedom and without thought for technique

or critics

They simply put life as they see it on paper

 Today, your life is before you

Color it real!

Color it yours!

and that's poetiquejustis

The greatest in the Kingdom of heaven 

is the one who humbles himself and becomes like this child.  

 Matthew 18:4

On the Wing

 

Intelligence without ambition

is like a bird without wings

C Archie Danielson

Knowing is good

Knowing what you want to do

with that knowledge

is good!

But neither of those things

Will get you anywhere

If you do not get moving

and that's poetiquejustis

Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, - See more at: http://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Moving-Forward#sthash.MCc5COBm.dpuf

Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. 

Are you not of more value than they? 

Matthew 6:26
