The Champ!

You will never find a better sparring partner

than adversity.

Golda Meier

Go ahead!

Tell them to put 'em up

Let them take a swing.

They think they have you on the ropes

They think you are down for the count

Not you!

What they do not know is

That you can go ten rounds with adversity

and walk away

The champ

and that's poetiquejustis

Consider it pure joy when you encounter trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 

James 1:2

 

I Hope

 

 A strong mind always hopes 

and always has cause to hope.

Thomas Carlyle

Hope

Victor Frankl tells us loss of hope

is harder to overcome than loss of the material

Hope

It is that belief of Annie's in the sun coming up

Hope

It is what gets us out of bed

It keeps us searching for answers

Keeps us believing in our dreams

Hope is the greatest gift we can give to the day

And that the day can give us in return

Hope

is what I hope for you

today

and that's is poetiquejustis

A strong mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess for He who promises is faithful.

Hebrews 10:23

The Possible Has Arrived

 

Don't ever tell me that something is impossible

Will Smith

I am Italian

Stubborn is in my DNA

So I will make a deal with you

I will not tell you something you want to do is impossible

If you don't tell me something I want to do is impossible
 

is that possible?

Sure it is!

and that's poetiquejustis

Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

Matthew 19:26

Triumphant

Always seek the triumph in every adversity

Og Mandino

Did someone try to steal your dreams?

                                                    Or are they just re-packaged?

You have what you need!

Enjoy the journey

Because your dreams did not disappear

They are just behind a cloud

Give them a nudge

Seek the triumph

Enjoy the journey

keep on dreaming

That is all there is to it

and that's poetiquejustis

 

Seek good not evil that you may live

Amos 5:14

 

Drawing on Life

 

One must always draw, draw with the eyes,
when one cannot draw with a pencil.

Balthus

Draw your own conclusions

Draw in a deep breath

Draw near to those you love

Draw from experience

Picasso said to draw, you must close your eyes and sing

Are your eyes closed?

That is good

and that's poetiquejustis

 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. 

James 4:8

Spare Time

 

Life is meant to be spent, not to be saved

D H Lawrence

Are you saving life up for a rainy day?

Are you just banking on your future being any different than today?

Or are you investing in yourself now-

Taking an interest in everything that is around you

Give yourself some credit!

Living your own life fully

 is a luxury we all can afford

                                                            and that's poetiquejustis
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21

Timely

 

I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it.

Jonathan Winters

Success can be very slow in coming

It can seem to be always around the bend

Down the road

somewhere

The accolades

The awards and rewards

The money

But then again....maybe we are the ones who are slow

Slow to see where success really is .

Tell me...

Do you know how to love and be loved?

Do you take joy in the gentler moments?

Can you walk your own path without the admiration of others?

Yes?

Well, then success is yours!

Greet it! 

Enjoy it! Run with it!

then  keep moving ahead.

And that's poetiquejustis

We were not looking for praise from men; not from you or anyone else

I Thessalonians 2:6
