Revisions

 

It is never too late in fiction or in life to revise

Nancy Thayer

Do not like the "prose"

(or the cons!)

Edit your life

Don't like the way you are headed?

Revise your plan

Do not like the way things are turning out?

then start  right where you are

and 

 because

It is never too late

for lots of

 and that's poetiquejustis

Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

Psalm 34:14

Need A Lift?

 We are what we believe we are.

C S Lewis

 

Act like the person you want to be

 

Act like the person you know you can be

Act like the person you always were but never knew it

Great

Now take a bow 

because 

 you are going places!

 And that's poetiquejustis

 I will lift You up, O Lord, for You have lifted me up.

Psalm 30:1

Mud Wrestling of the Mind

 Let our advance worrying become our advance planning. Winston Churchill

Worry is like stepping in a mud puddle

 

It happens

 There are then three choices;

 

Stand in the mud and complain

 

Get out of the mud and keep tracking dirt everywhere you go by complaining

 

Get out of the mud, clean your shoes and move on.

and that's poetiquejustis

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.

Psalm 94:19

Could I Have A Little Quiet, Please?

 How do I know what I think until I hear what I say?

E.M. Forster

Quiet

My mom used to say

 

This was usually in response to my trying to shatter the windows 

 

with my music

Today, noise comes from everywhere

(As I right this, someone up my street is continuing on their eternal DIY building project...I digress)

There is:

The Internet

 

TV

 

Radio

We owe it to ourselves

 

And that's poetiquejustis

Psalm 107:29-30 “He calmed the storm and its waves quieted down. So they rejoiced that the waves became quiet, and he led them to their desired haven.”

On the Road Again

 

Man can learn nothing except by going 

from the known to the unknown

Claude Bernard

What is holding you back?

How many times during the day 

are you looking for a workaround

just to avoid doing something 

you do not have the confidence to do?

How many roads to success have you failed to take

by telling yourself :"That's not for me "

Get out of your way!

You can make progress

Or you can make excuses

But you cannot do both

And that's poetiquejustis

                         Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.
                                                                        Proverbs 29:25

Blah Blah Blah?

 

Be content to act

and leave the talking  to others

Balltasar Gracian

Taking a stand for what is good does not always mean taking center stage

 

Because there are those who talk a good fight

And those who bring brightness and light

There are those who know what to do

And those who follow through

Which one are you?

Today- find a need- no matter how small- and fill it.

  and that's poetiquejustis

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in

Sands of Time

 

I can well understand why children love sand

Wilhelm Wittgenstein

It is the first thing in life to slip between your fingers

And the first castle you ever own

It stretches out before you beckoning you to follow

And then begs you to stretch out  and soak up its warmth

The poet Blake suggested that within its walls we can find a universe

 

 

 And we know that within it we find the span of time

                         Today, promise to take life by the handful

and let none of it slip away

and that's poetiquejustis
 

"For You said, ' I will surely prosper you and make your descendants as the sand of the sea,
which is too great to be numbered.'"
Genesis 32:12
