You Are Almost There

 

But above all, try something

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Try

You are almost there

Only you can stop you now!

One more push and you are over the top!

On the other side!

Out from under!

Thinking about giving up?

 

I didn't think so- not you!

 

It is climb or fall

And you are a climber.

Shuffle the Deck

 

If things don't go fantastically

you just have to deal with it

Anton Du Beke

Don't like the ways things are going?

Shuffle up your life a bit

Plans not working out?

     Find that ace up your sleeve!

   Thinking about getting out of the game?

                                                  Hang in there!
                                 Because you just never know
                              what life is going to deal you next!

                                   and that's poetiquejustis

                                                                   
              Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
                                                               Romans 12:12

Ahead of the Curve

 

The thing to do is grab the broom

and drive off the beast of fear
N.Houston

Get busy

Get moving

Get some miles under your feet

and some sky in front of your nose

That is how you put the fear behind you

and that's poetiquejustis
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10

Mark My Words

 

We aim above the mark

to hit the mark

R W Emerson

Today....

We try to love a little more than we did yesterday

                                      we send out more smiles, and kind words and deeds
                                                              than we feel like sending

We may not always hit the mark

But at least we care enough to aim

and that's poetiquejustis

Finally, brothers, good-by. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
                                         2 Corinthians 3:11

The important work

of moving the world forward

does not wait to be done

by perfect men

I say it takes you

And me

And anyone else ready to show up

And do the work

That's how it gets done

Choose to stop along the way and cast your line to fate

Or not

Do You See It?

 

I shut my eyes in order to see

Paul Gaugin

I shut my eyes to what is hurtful

and then I may to see what is good

I shut my eyes to what you have that I do not

and then  I may bless that which is mine

but if

I shut my eyes to

to a world in need

I am only blind

and that's poetiquejustis
