#I have never read a book full
#I have never read a book series

I live my life trying to see the good in people believing that we can learn something from everybody… and since some have had the opportunity to write it down for us, it would make sense to take full advantage of their efforts.ĥ. There is also a world of knowledge to be found in books. There is a world of inspiration to be discovered in books.

Reading opens our heart to new ideas, new cultures, and new worldviews. I’m not entirely sure what that looks like down the road, but there’s a 100% chance leadership qualities will be required.ģ. There is a growing passion in my heart to continue taking this message of “finding more life by owning less” to more and more people. I want my life to give life to others and inspire them to live better. And our lives are either giving life to others or draining it from them. Each of us interact with others on a daily basis. And reading always increases our capacity to write.Ģ.

As one who enjoys spreading thoughts and inspiring others through the written word, writing is important to me. But for the next 52 weeks, I have resolved to read 52. After giving it some thought over the past few weeks, I have made the decision to read one book per week in2012 for a number of reasons:ġ. For most of my life, I’ve averaged reading about one book per month. That’s why I’ve taken this occasion of a new year to purposely resolve to read more books. I become a better person because of it… I just wish I did more of it. I am inspired, entertained, and invested into. I am taken to new places and enjoy conversations with new people. I am forced to embrace a new thought and evaluate my life against it. Each time I read a new book, I am stretched as a person. And any decision to embrace that opportunity could best be labeled as a resolution (I’ve just never understood why we’d wait until January 1st to make the change). As we increase in age and wisdom, we begin to recognize opportunities in our life to grow and improve.

Life is defined by the decisions we make and I’ve come to view life as a series of adjustments. While New Year’s resolutions have never played an important role in my life (I can’t remember the last time I made one), I do think resolutions are essential.
