Quote by Naomi Johns

“You risk the currents pulling you in the wrong direction and not knowing it until you’re below the clods again. But if you can calculate it correctly, and work with the wind, it can carry you much faster and farther than if you were on your own.’ My thoughts travel faster than the current can carry me, as I contemplate the meaning behind his words. They don’t just apply to flying.”

“As I told you, I ain’t your mom or your dad. I’m your uncle,” Beaumont said. “I ain’t going to babysit you or your sister. I ain’t got time for that or your foolishness. We are nowhere near Mars, and I can’t just drop you off when you act up. You have to respect me and trust me. In that order. Otherwise, we are going to butt heads again and again until you learn that I’m not to be played with or we find your mom.” Beaumont took a breath and studied his niece and nephew. “You get me?” Excerpt From Onto a Sea of Stars Mark Sneed This material may be protected by copyright.”

“Every business needs capital. Whether we’re talking about a barbershop or a bank, a boutique e-commerce store or a hotdog stand. Whether we’re talking about a restaurant or a clothing store, a giant like Walmart, or the local bodega that’s owned by a local family. They all need capital.”

“The most important thing you can do to increase your self-control is to identify the misbeliefs in the words you tell yourself. Then argue against those misbeliefs. Never let yourself get away with misbelief talk. Use determination and energy in arguing and refusing each misbelief with the truth. You can be self-controlled in every area of your life. People who exercise self-control have discovered a major key to living fulfilled lives. Laziness, apathy and lethargy, avoiding responsibility, are not inroads to happiness and the fulfilled life. It is not surprising that when a person complains of lack of self-control the accompanying complaints are discontent, guilt, deep dissatisfaction with life, and a lack of self-confidence. Self-control, a fruit of the Spirit, will become a part of your life as you diligently cultivate it, as you reject discouragement, and as you teach yourself to reward yourself for your successes. “Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not,” Paul tells us in Galatians 6:9. Allow the Holy Spirit to help you. With God, nothing is impossible. Sometimes things may seem difficult, but with the Lord as your helper, strength and guide, it’s not impossible. You can shout to the whole world, “‘Greater is he [the Holy Spirit] that is in me than he [the devil who tempts me to sin] that is in the world.’ Therefore, I can be and am a self-controlled person!”
