The Jet Will Fly!How to Overcome the Weight of the WorldThe weight of the world is only as heavy as you think it is.Johnnie E. Jet Jones is a native of Americus, Georgia, and grew up during the turbulent civil rights era of the 1950s and '60s. Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and General Daniel Chappie James, Johnnie had the lofty dream of becoming a pilot in the United States Air Force. Yet, at times, it felt like the weight of the world was holding him down. He was Black, poor, fatherless, and living on the wrong side of the Seaboard Railroad tracks while being raised by a hardworking single parent and mother of six.
THE JET WILL FLY was the motto he adopted early in life, and these extremely powerful words magically propelled him out of poverty into the wild blue yonder and the friendly skies. This book will inspire you to prepare your mind to triumph over the weight of the world and the burdens of life. There are four basic principles of flight needed for you to takeoff and soar. Most of all, you are urged to use this book to find the faith to thrust you forward and the knowledge that will gracefully lift you up to overcome the weight of the world and drag of despair. Are you ready to fly?
READERS WILL LEARN:
- God is the wind beneath our wings.
- Mental preparation comes from reading.
- Determination comes from mental preparation.
- How to become your own cheerleader.
- Visualization is the key to success.
- Reach back and help someone else.
