Let's Begin

 

With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere,

Thoughts begin somewhere and move on

Love begins somewhere and grows

Dreams begin somewhere and become real

Now you must begin somewhere and be who you are

Who has words at the right moment?

Words

All around us

In our head

In our ear

In our face

Words

There are none of no effect

What will your words do today?

Choose your words

Use your words

You can build someone's world with your words

For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55: 10-11

Take the Cure

Is to get moving

Take these cures daily as needed

Make the Choice

 

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

How It All Turns Out

 

Things turn out best for the people 
who make the best of the way things turn out.

Don't just make the best of it!

Make this day the best!

How life really works

 

Be kind whenever possible 

It is always possible

Give a little- and you will gain

Lose a little- and you will find far more

Put yourself out and you will draw others in

That is how life really works

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.

Wishful Thinking

 

There would not be a sky full of stars

if we were all meant to wish 

on the same one

Frances Clark

You wish for the ice cream

I'll wish for the cone

You wish for the tea cup

I'll wish for the scone

You wish for the sunshine

I'll wish for the moon

And if we all wish for peace on earth

We may have it soon

and that's poetiquejustis

How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity
