"I think so many times in life we are looking for good times to make us better people. We are looking for a good economy, better jobs, and longer vacations when in reality it isn't those things that make us our best selves but rather it's what we choose to take away from the difficult times." - Jeremy Chamberlain (page 45) "It was so difficult to trust the current. Finally, as we arrived at the end of the river trip we looked around us in amazement. There was a green meadow surrounded by beautiful trees covered with vibrant orange blossoms . . . It was one of the most beautiful sights we had ever seen. We sat there in awe, taking in the feeling and beauty of the scene in front of us. It was then we realized the current was only bringing us to paradise and trusting the current would've allowed us both to enter this paradise relaxed instead of exhausted from fighting the current." - Laraine Chamberlain (Page 49) What others have said about this book.
