The JETZ ABC’s

Accept your goodness, your beauty, your value, and your worth
Believe in yourself
Choose for yourself only those things that are good for you
Discipline yourself to always do your best and to do it on time
Excellence, not excess, is the key
Faith fuel your dreams
Greatness the stuff you are made of; act like you know!
Honesty keeps you free of guilt and shame.
Intuition is the teaching from within; pay attention to what you feel!
Joy is what you feel when you love yourself first.
Knowledge is the key to freedom.
Love is what you are, not what you give or get.
Mistakes are lessons that you need to learn!
Never say never Mrs. Jackie stands by these words new days bring new ideas and new beginnings!
Order is the law that puts you where you need to be when you need to be there. Plan prepare purposefully.
Pursue persistently.
Quiet time is necessary for a powerful mind.
Respect yourself and others will do the same.
Self is the most important thing you have to give.
Trust yourself.
Unexpected doors will open when you think all doors have closed.
Victory is the prize.
Wisdom is using what you have.
X-pect the BEST always.
You are the light of the world.
Zealously mature with honor, and love your self!

This is who I am

This is who I am
A girl who is from a place that is cold
This is who I am
A person from out of town
This is who I am
A person who goes around wondering how I got this way
And how I became who I am today
This is who I am
A spirit who cried and lied and prayed that everything would stay the same
As yesterday
This is who I am
A kid who laughs and plays
All Day!
-Naomi Richardson, Jetz Shock Wave

JETZ ATTITUDE

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on my life.
Attitude is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.
It will make or break a company…a church…a home….a team.
The remarkable thing is that we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the inevitable.
But we CAN play on the one string we have…our attitude!
Life is truly 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.
GO JETZ!

Pizza

My pizza is big it is kind of sweet;
it’s the best pizza I could ever eat.
It needs a little cheese but that’s all right,
I could eat pizza all night
Yup that’s right!

Books

Books are my specialty they make me smart,
I read them day and night, of Course with some light.
I read them and understand what they’re saying or coming from,
I sometimes read and chew gum.
Books they teach you how to preach, and how to “walk the talk”.
Books are awesome, I have a lot.
