Just some thoughts...

Every day, as I write Poetiquejustis, I pray it will be a blessing to someone.
Today, I hope it is you.

It Is Always Possible

 

Our aspirations are our possibilities
Samuel Johnson
Aspire
From the Latin: To breathe upon
To give life to your hopes
and let them take wing
Take a breath!
Now give it back to the universe as your possibilities fulfilled
and that's poetiquejustis

Bring The Light

 

Light tomorrow with today.
Elizabeth Barret Browning
We all have our dark days.
The days when all seems lost
Nothing seems right
 
And the road seems to be leading nowhere.
Those are the days when you need the light
 you have kept safe in your heart from a brighter time.
And that's poetiquejustis
 The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:5

Sunny with a chance of you

 

It is terribly amusing how many different
climates of emotion one can go through 
in one day.
Ann Morrow Lindbergh
From a  peaceful sunny disposition
To a heart windswept with clouds
From a downcast soul
with a promise of rain
To sunny skies again
 
Whether you like it or not
things do change 
day to day
hour to hour
Just weather the storm
and keep moving on
and that's poetiquejustis

A twinkle in the eye delights the heart.
    Good news refreshes the body.
Proverbs 15:30

Give it a toss..or not

 

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing
Walt Disney
Both sides of the coin
Both sides of the argument
Both sides of your brain
You can toss it
Debate it
analyze it until it crumbles
but in the end
The only way to get it done
Is to get it done
and that's poetiquejustis
Don't let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees. These things only lead to meaningless speculations, which don't help people live a life of faith in God.
1 Timothy1:4

Getting Into The Habit

 


Successful people are simply those
with successful habits
Brian Tracy 


Find what works



and make a habit of doing it



Find something else that works


and make a habit of doing it
Keep finding things that work

and make a habit of doing them



Find something that does not work


and don't do it

until success
becomes a habit


and that's poetiquejustis

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied. 
Proverbs 13:4

Every Expert Started Somewhere

 

With an apple I will astonish Paris.
Paul Cezanne
and he did
Arthur Ashe said
"Start where you  are 
Use what you have
Do what you can"
Cezanne used an apple
what will you use?
that is the challenge
and that is poetiquejustis
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 5:14-16

Listen Up

 

We are not what we know
but what we are willing to learn
Mary Catherine Bateson


We do not need to believe everything we hear


But we need to be willing to listen


We do not even have to believe our eyes



But we should never turn away




We do not have to agree with what others say



But we do have to respect their right to say it


Being willing to learn 

is being willing to live
and that's poetiquejustis
Proverbs 1:5 Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.

No Time to be Timid!

 

Necessity makes even the timid brave. 
Sallust




Does something have you cornered?

Something in your face?

Someone got you worried?

 So you cannot run your race?
Something you are hiding

Is there someone that you fear

Is there an inTIMIDate on your calendar?

Then let me make this clear!

Tell that bully you don't have time

then watch it shrink away


Break that inTIMIDate

and let the sun come out
and that's poetiquejustis
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
2 Timothy 1:7
