With Friends We Fly,
With friends we soar.
With friends we cry,
With friends we roar.
With friends we shine,
With friends we glow.
With friends we learn,
With friends we grow.
With friends we bond,
With friends we share.
With friends we give,
With friends we care.
With Friends We Fly,
With friends we land.
With friends we Love,
With friends we stand.

University-Of-Life

Howdy folks! ♥

"The best teacher in life, IS life."
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

"University Of Life" (image pending)
From the school of Hard Knocks, Life's University;
A student of progressive learning, a grad to never be.
For this course of study, there is not an end,
Until my time is up with hope to Heaven, I'll ascend.

With a multitude of lessons of varying degrees;
Some very complicated, some through, I can breeze.
Then there are those that I must keep repeating
Until the lesson's learned. Life forbids cheating.

The most valuable lessons though, if them, I'm to land,
Come mainly through and by experience, only first hand.
These lessons can be the toughest when I'm badly burned,
But once made through, these lessons never are unlearned.

Always a 'work in progress' with a goal that is set
To build on, improve myself, and lest I should forget,
Life will remind me, use my conscience purposely to gain
My attention unpleasantly until back on track again.

With the University Of Life, there's attendance every day,
Since Life takes no vacations and grants no vacation pay.
Classes are in session always, seven days a week.
Tardiness is frowned upon for anyone who will seek.

As with any learning, Life works best with a willing student,
If one is to evolve, gain wisdom, be humble along with prudent.
The levels we achieve in Life in our character, reflects,
Based on what we've earned not what our ego's pride projects.

There are no report cards for there is no need,
Since Life rewards in accordance with, per every deed.
All progressive students learn at different rates,
Learn different lessons in accordance with their fates.

Since every student has a uniquely different course,
With lessons in different order from a different source,
Each student in their learning is where they need to be,
Learning lessons some have learned; others yet to see.

A progressive student learns Life brings surprises,
Some good, some bad, and some hidden in disguises
And Life is ever changing to keep us on our toes,
Encountering the flower OR the thorns of the rose.

In the learning process, Life teaches what to value most;
What to cultivate within us; what type of pride to host.
For an eager student who desires to achieve integrity,
Life has special challenges to be met but not easily.

Life's lessons may be hard, some horrible to bear,
But all in all we come through better for the wear.
For each lesson that we learn, more strength we achieve,
More courage we obtain, we can rely on and believe.

Somewhere along the way we learn about perspective
And which priorities should be in our main objective.
Priorities in Life are essential if we are to spare
Ourselves from the grief of regret, burdensome to bear.

But Life is not all work with never any play.
In between and during lessons, Life finds a way
To bring us joy and happiness, in abundance we can reap,
With peace in our hearts we can hold onto and keep.

With Life's lessons that we learn and if we learn them well,
All the precious gifts of, number more than I can ever tell.
But all that's good and beautiful can't be truly appreciated,
Without some bad and ugly for comparison, well illustrated.

Although there are no diplomas, there is great reward,
When for my character, integrity I've earned and scored,
Gaining self worth, esteem, confidence, and discipline,
All combined with humility, is most definitely a win.

So, yes, I am a student of the University Of Life,
The school of Hard Knocks with lots of stress and strife.
But I would not trade this for all of China's tea,
Because all the lessons learned have made a wiser, better me!

And yes, I am still enrolled for work on me's not done.
I'll be a 'work in progress' until my last setting sun.
In progressive learning I've yet to learn many lessons still
And if I'm a humble, willing student, somehow I know I will.

BE bold enough without insulting,
To make for yourself the choice,
To speak out against the wrongs
And for good, to use your voice.

BE brave enough, with honesty,
To listen and to follow your heart,
To BE yourself the best, BE real,
And project your truest part.

BE strong enough to BE humble
To acknowledge your mistakes,
To set aside your ego and pride,
Knowing integrity this makes.

BE confident enough to BE caring
Without for thyself in mind,
To BE compassionate with others,
Understanding and BE kind.

BE courageous enough to live your life,
As you imagine, in your dreams create,
Always with gratitude in your heart,
Allow your passions to motivate.

Awesomeness

Howdy folks! ♥

"A person who is awesome, their character will display,
But with their humbleness, won't see themselves this way."
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

"Awesomeness"

PNG url:  https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCMN-O3N5DQ6mM606zLEM8r_QLDQ-tKgxvOaGtRkVUVgEqAVozdQjAifPOMp_xQJKOT3Nddt1uzAxjtOYjKRX1z-iIjwiB4JkgyS-GCMmDKdIayTXJTjsCQsZiprCjPbn4VwdDvJcQp0s/s852/AwesomePerson-QuoteByArtsieladie2017-08-24_852x314.png
Be the best of who you can be; 
Be the best of who you are.
Awesome then you shall be
And you'll shine like a star!

If you fill your heart with Love, 
For hate, there'll be no space!
Your Light will brightly shine, 
Like a beacon every place!

There'll be no need to say,
To, your Awesomeness, impress,
For a character of excellence
Will immeasurably express.

Remember, words are empty vessels
Without actions of, supporting.
If you feel the need to say,
Then, in doubt of, you are courting.

An outward appearance of beauty
Does not awesome, generate.
Only if there's beauty within
Can Awesomeness radiate.

With the presenting of oneself,
It's one's character that reflects
And shows so clearly what one
Is accepting of or one rejects.

So, when someone feels compelled
To brag about themselves and boast,
They know their character is lacking
And need convincing of the most.

Since ego boasts and brags,
Plays a deceptive role,
One must be humble to,
Of their ego, keep control.

A person who cultivates integrity,
From others needs no validation;
Feels no need to prove themselves
Nor of, make a declaration.

Those who are most awesome
Portray not themselves as fakes;
Know real comes with flaws
And inevitably, mistakes.

Hence, one's Awesomeness speaks,
Not through spoken words though,
But through character of excellence
And in volumes, it will show.

Jungle-Flower

Greetings everyone, from Artsieladie! ♥

The Internet is like a jungle with so many fakes, impostors, pretenders, predators, opportunistic leeches, scam artists, hackers, stalkers, etc.. It can be difficult to weed through them all to find someone who actually is true and real. But even against the odds, we can find a true and honest soul on occasion and each find is indeed a blessing. ♥

People say they care when they don't really care at all,
But it sounds good and by saying so, they don't feel as small.
People tend to say what will serve themselves the best,
Hoping they won't be called upon to prove by any test.

People like to say lots of stuff they don't really mean,
They're simply performing so with favour they'll be seen.
To keep up appearances they make sure they appear
Like they are wonderful and caring as well as sincere.

Oh, all the fake personas out there, especially on the 'Net,
Who profess they Love and care, and you, they never will forget,
But as soon as your presence isn't as much as it used to be,
They'll forget you exist along with what they claimed emphatically.

Real is real. Truth is truth. Both are constant and consistent,
And so this goes with people, true friendship is persistent.
Fair weather friends shine on sunny days when there's no rain,
But true friends keep shining through in storminess and pain.

The 'Net is like a jungle, tough to get through,
All so overgrown, at times, treacherous too,
But ever so often we are blessed to find
A flower in the thicket of the rarest kind.

This flower we can add to the garden in our heart,
Knowing its beauty will remain, always be a part,
Of who we are today and in all our days ahead,
Always adding beauty uniquely in our flower bed.

Then, as for those who are plastic and pretend,
They matter not as a fair weather friend.
Only those who shine when our skies are grey
Are the flowers we must cherish each and every day.

Their presence may be obscured when from our eyes we see,
But their fragrance and their beauty in our heart will always be.
A Jungle Flower is a treasure, indeed, a miracle to find
Amongst the jungle of the 'Net so often fake and unkind.

Believe-In-Love

Greetings everyone, from Artsieladie! ♥

I truly believe in Love and I believe that Love can resolve, fix, heal, etc. ANY situation, as long as the Love is Pure, True, and Real, held Sacred in one's heart, where God Lives in our most precious part. I choose to feed Love and to starve hate and I know I'm continually being tested and tempted to let my guard down to allow myself to hate. But I refuse although given lots of reasons to give in to hate all throughout my life.

When I'm tempted to step off the Path of Right and Light, such as tempted to feel hatred and/or any of its derivatives, but I refuse to do so and I'm successful against the temptation, there's an indescribable sense of empowerment I feel. My courage, my confidence, self worth, self esteem, etc. are all validated and reinforced. My quality of character improves and the pride derived is then earned pride of the good kind, not derived from my ego. 

Every time we resist and win over temptation, we become stronger and our values become stronger and better, establishing and sustaining virtue, integrity, and dignity. As long as we remain humble as well, we then can like and respect ourselves, knowing we possess character of excellence. But this state of being requires continual upkeep and maintenance for at any given time, we are at risk of losing what we have earned/gained because we are always subjected to temptation. 

Believe in Love, believe in Magic... Non-believing is truly tragic. ~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

How many people really, in Love, believe?
How many people choose Love to relieve
Them of their woes, their differences to settle,
Refuse to let Love's opposite to interfere and mettle?

We all speak of Love and its Magic Power,
Yet, its very opposite, we permit it to devour
And disable all that Love is meant for to do,
Allowing hate's components in to pursue.

When we have an issue to resolve with another soul,
What's the angle chosen, what becomes our goal?
Do we attempt to work things out, apply understanding,
Listen with our hearts first before reprimanding?

Do we allow compassion to play a role in our discussion
Or do we just assume the worst to welcome repercussion?
Do we bring along humility or cling to our pride?
Which do we allow precedence to over us preside?

How about forgiveness, are we ready, willing, able,
And do we bring honesty and truth to the table?
Or are we more interested in collecting another's debt,
Without the paying of our own, wanting others to forget?

Is our ego so inflated there's no room for compromise,
For we make no mistakes for which we must apologise?
Are we all so bloody perfect in all our circumstances
That not a one of us needs correction or any more chances?

Since we each are so perfect, we all must be the same,
Anyone who's different must then be put to shame!?
Anyone and everyone with a different point of view
Must be scrutinized, condemned, and humiliated too?

Yes, it seems, although we all speak of Love to promote,
When we should apply Love, we always miss the boat.
Hence, most often the alternatives that we choose,
Are the opposite of Love and this is how we lose.

How do we all lose and why is this so tragic?
'Cause we're denying Love and its essential Magic.
If anyone is doubting these words written down,
What is there more of, a smile or a frown?

Listen to the news, everywhere you look,
Hate and its components are writing humans' book.
The little bits of Love that show up here and there
Are becoming vastly scarce as fewer people care.

God must be besieged with unmitigated grief,
As His Creation with Love is being stolen by a thief.
Hate and evil are winning, satan's keeping score,
Racking up the souls stolen, ever more and more.

If we humans Believe In Love, as most of us claim,
Then we need to apply Love, not only in its name.
It's best we start immediately, there's no time to waste.
After all we've given to its opposite, lustfully with haste.

If we humans Believe In Love, we'd better start applying,
So the wrongs of hate and evil be, allowance of, denying.
Let's choose to reinforce, uphold Love's Magic Power,
So satan's evil doings can't more souls then devour.

Remember, Love is made of so many wonderful things.
Happiness, joy, laughter, peacefulness it brings.
Love warms our hearts, stirs passions and desire
To defeat the evils of satan and the Hell of Fire.

How many people really, truly Believe In Love?
How many choose to embrace what we're all made of?
How many Believe In Love too strongly to deny
And believe so fervently they seek only to apply?

If all were to truly Believe In Love as we're meant to do,
If all were to Believe In Love we're made from, for, and to,
We would all be less inclined to for evils be permissive,
To only Love's Magic Power would we then be submissive.

Be-Someone-Who

Greetings everyone, from Artsieladie! ♥

Be the best of who you are. Be a person you can like and Love, honour and respect, and you won't have to concern yourself with if others accept you or not because those who do likewise in regards to themselves will accept and respect you. Those who don't, well, it doesn't matter. 

Be someone who you can like, Love, honour, and respect... 
And it will not matter if you, others choose to reject. 
~ Artsieladie Quote

Live your life by the Golden Rule. Treat others as you want to be treated. Do onto others as you want and like done onto you. Elementary. If you want honesty, be honest. If you want to be respected, give/show respect. If others don't do likewise, it's on them, not you. What they do is a reflection of them, not you. What you do is a reflection of you, not others. It's very simple to comprehend. Only you have the dominion over you. ♥

Be Someone Who you would like to meet.
Be Someone Who you'd be glad to greet.
Be Someone Who you'd want for a friend.
Make this reality, your self worth, transcend.

Be Someone Who you'd like to know as real.
Be Someone Who you would trust in a deal.
Be Someone Who you would honour and respect.
Make this reality, your self esteem will reflect.

Be Someone Who you would like to better know.
Be Someone Who you wouldn't want to let go.
Be Someone Who you could rely on thick or thin.
Make this reality, your self confidence, a win.

Be Someone Who you would like with to be alone.
Be Someone Who you'd know needs no chaperone.
Be Someone Who you'd know acknowledges mistakes.
Make this reality, overall, a better you this makes.

Be Someone Who you would hope for to meet.
Be Someone Who you'd see as a plus to greet.
Be Someone Who Love, you could, would, should.
Make all reality, your self pride, validated as good.

REAL-Is-Perfect

Greetings everyone, from Artsieladie! ♥

Too often a person is afraid to let their real show because they think their real, true self won't be seen as 'good enough' by others and/or by one they have feelings for. But the truth is, the people who think you're not good enough, don't or shouldn't anyway, matter. Only those who truly care and Love you truly matter and those who do, will Love and care for you how you are and so, you will be and are 'good enough'.

Real is real; fake is fake.
Fake can't ever real better make!
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

"REAL Is Perfect"
Everything was wonderful, or so it seemed.
Everything was just as I had always dreamed.
But as wonderful as everything was,
It didn't seem quite real because
Everything was perfect without a single flaw
And as much as I Loved everything I saw,
I was always afraid the other shoe would drop,
Spots that were hidden would soon reach the top.
I didn't want to make a mess, to on a shadow, cast,
But if there's hidden Truth, perceived beauty cannot last.

Everything was pretty, gifts, words, charm.
Naturally, I didn't want to sound an alarm
That could put an end to all of this,
Absolutely perfect with much joy and bliss.
I struggled each time I would get a scent
Of something off, but not knowing what it meant
I questioned my Intuition, placed in myself, doubt,
Hoping to be wrong, I tried to stamp the feelings out.
Every time he avoided something in his reply
And became a repeated pattern, I had to wonder why.
When there's a common denominator of one or more,
This will narrow down the areas needed to explore.
When with certain things or topics I would say and/or do,
There was a change in attitude clearly showing through.

I have no record of any deliberate lies
Nor do I think he is a master of disguise.
This is not his style, not that I perceive,
I have no valid reason him to not believe.
He is a man of honour, integrity astounding,
Virtuous and humble, Faith in God abounding;
Still has my full respect, which he's more than earned.
My Love for him remains in spite of what I've learned.
When you really care for someone, this caring doesn't end,
Especially when they have become a most amazing friend.

Although I checked thoroughly, I never really saw,
So I had him on a pedestal for I couldn't find a flaw.
When I began to sense that he is human just like me,
Well, of course, I had to investigate further just to see.
When this became apparent, I felt some disillusion.
Emotionally I fought against to come to this conclusion
For I was afraid I may not be quite as impressed
But what I found instead, I was still so blessed.
He has not become lesser in my heart nor in my eyes,
He's perfectly REAL now with no perfect in disguise!

Real-Flowers

Greetings everyone, from Artsieladie! ♥

Real always, always trumps fake...
Real is always better than fake can ever be
For any flaws present paint individuality.
Fake is imitation, designed to conform,
Robbing the unique, the beauty of the norm.

Fake can never trump real with its mimickation.
Would you rather walk among Real Flowers in a real flower bed
Or would you prefer to walk among flowers, plastic ones instead?

Would you rather look upon a bed of flowers, each uniquely designed
Or would you prefer them all to be exactly of the same, molded kind?
Would you rather smell the sweet fragrances, all specially blended
Or would you prefer the factory smell to have your nose offended?

Would you rather gently touch a flower to feel its delicateness
Or would you rather touch a flower unfeeling of your caress?
Would you rather be a flower, an original, unlike all the rest
Or would you prefer to forfeit how by God you've been blessed?

Real is always better with authenticity to claim.
Genuine trumps generic, putting fake to shame.
Would you rather hold Real Flowers gently in your hand
Or would you prefer them hard and cold of a factory brand?

Real Flowers are delicate, vulnerable, and tender,
Character specific, accordance with their gender.
Though each appears to have flaws, oddities possess,
Each God Made Perfectly with real purpose to address.

Real Flowers do not compete nor with themselves concern,
How other flowers are blooming nor like them do they yearn.
Real Flowers just bloom, displaying their very best,
Knowing their unique offering is by God's Request.

Each heart is a flower with each an original face.
Each heart is a flower in God's Garden of Grace.
God created NOT anything plastic, unreal, or fake,
For only with His Love did He all hearts Uniquely Make.

Real Flowers God Created, each of His Own Design,
Each and every one He Made with His Love Divine.
Dear Flower of God, more than good enough for me,
As long as you stay real is how I wish you then to be!

Love-Vs-Ego

Greetings all, from Artsieladie! ♥

I am a huge fan of OSHO. This quote by OSHO inspired me to write this poem: ♥

"Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something." ~ OSHO

"Love Vs Ego"

Love Loves to give much, to make another smile.
Ego loves to give just an inch to in turn take a mile.
Love Loves being kind and caring with compassion.
Ego doesn't care except to for itself have passion.

Love is humble, modest, considerate, and forgiving.
Ego is boastful, self-centered is its way of living.
Love supports the Truth, in honesty Love believes.
Ego accepts and tells lies, its host it then deceives.

Love is about all good things humanity does possess.
Ego is about whatever works including wickedness.
Love follows the path of right where Love does belong.
Ego follows the easiest route whether right or wrong.

Love holds the answers to resolve all disputes.
Ego prevents solutions, stubbornly refutes.
Love is the healer for all hearts and souls.
Ego favours dissension and friction as its goals.

Love promotes peace, joy, and happiness.
Ego thrives in chaos with everything a mess.
Love is alive and born in every soul and heart,
Until ego takes command of our central part.

Love is our Precious Gift. Hatred is Its thief.
Ego aids the thievery promoting false belief.
Love sustains us with hope, brings to us relief,
When ego has betrayed us, laden us with grief.

Love brings redemption, is saver of the soul.
Ego justifies wrong, will jeopardise the whole.
Love frees the spirit to know the joys of life.
Ego traps with guilt replacing joy with strife.

The heart is made to Love,
That our ego robs us of,
If our ego by its demand
Is allowed to take command.

Love is then denied
Replaced with ego's pride.
The cost becomes high
Because ego will deny,
Take from us our Love
We're made to, for, and of.

"Love is the giver; ego is the taker.
Love is the real; ego is the faker."
