Just Jones: Sometimes a Thing Is Impossible . . . Until It Is Actually Done (A Noticer Book) QUOTES

1 " A wise person seeks to make peace with the truth, especially when it's personal and even when it hurts. "

― Andy Andrews , Just Jones: Sometimes a Thing Is Impossible . . . Until It Is Actually Done (A Noticer Book)

2 " If a person has any inclination toward the best that life has to offer, a constant and never-ending search for truth is a must. For while one can know the truth and never achieve the best, it is not possible to achieve the best without knowing the truth. "

― Andy Andrews , Just Jones: Sometimes a Thing Is Impossible . . . Until It Is Actually Done (A Noticer Book)

3 " The current of life never stops,' he'd say. 'One can choose to swim downstream. That's an easier trip, of course, and there's always lots of company, but sooner or later it's also where all the garbage collects.

'Upstream, on the other hand, is where the water is pure. The things that make life special and worthwhile are all upstream, and to get there, you must discipline yourself to swim against the current.

'Be most aware,' Jones would say, 'of the danger of treading water. Many people believe there are three choices: swimming upstream, swimming downstream, and holding in place by treading water.

'In reality, the choices are only two. One can struggle upstream or travel downstream, but when a person chooses to stop swimming midstream, there is no such thing as holding in place. Water - like a life without purpose - always flows downstream, and everything that does not struggle from its grasp goes downstream too. "
