Are You In Your Way?

If the wind will not serve,
take to the oars.
Destitutus ventis, remos adhibe
Latin Proverb

 

You know where you want to go

But your mind keeps taking the "yea but" and "what if" detour

You are not going to get anywhere that way....

Ask yourself this:

Would I let anyone talk me out of doing what I just talked myself out of doing?

I didn't think so....

So get out of your way!

Stop blocking your own path!

Stop tripping yourself up!

  

Wayne Dyer said:

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.

He who doubts is like wave of the sea tossed by the wind

James 1:6

Winds of Change

What a peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call 'thought'.
David Hume 

The winds blew through my city the other night

Branches flew from trees










The seagulls headed south away from it all

The dust and the leaves filled the air

My peaceful world was agitated
and so was I

Eventually the winds moved on,  leaving this message  behind:

"Do what you must...do whatever it takes...to keep the winds of worry from blowing through your mind

Do what you must...do whatever it takes....to keep the dust of life from covering your soul"

The winds spoke....and I will listen

From my mind to yours...

peace

and that's poetiquejustis

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you   John 14:27

Introducing You!

It has never been natural for me to deviate from the facts of anything before me

Norman Rockwell

Look me in the eye

Stand before me- toe to toe

Put out your hand and give me a shake

 Now that wasn't so bad, was it?

Hello...I am who you have been

afraid to be

I am what you never thought you could do

I am what you never made time for

I am who you never  thought you had in you.

Well.... here I am

Been here all the time

Just waiting for you

and now that we have met- 

let's go live some life together!

 

Einstein said:

 Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.

Limits?

Accepted.

Now- go!
