“As the uneasiness and reluctance to face it cut him off more and more from all real happiness, and as habit renders the pleasures the vanity and excitement and flippancy at once less pleasant and harder to forgo...you will find that anything or nothing is sufficient to attract his wandering attention. You no longer need a good book, which he really likes, to keep him from his prayers or his work or his sleep; a column of advertisements in yesterday's paper will do. You can make him waste his time not only in conversation he enjoys with people whom he likes, but also in conversations with those he cares nothing about, on subjects that bore him.

“applying the message. A tremendous place to start is with any of Jim Stovall’s twenty books. Then apply the wisdom that Stovall shares as you read his books or articles. Should you have any question as to the author’s qualifications to impart wisdom, perhaps a little of his background will shed some light on the matter. Proverbs 27:19 tell us, “we become like those with whom we associate: a mirror reflects a man’s face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses.” Jim Stovall chose wisely, being mentored by Lee Braxton an associate of Napoleon Hill.
