Tools for thinking and seeing differently.
Reason for reading is to grow your mind not only in knowledge but in focus, connection and depth. People always say they should read more or even more common they say they don’t have the time. This isn’t a lecture though so I shall refrain. Finding ways to increase your focus, is one of the best ways to enhance your abilities in life.
Fear of change, specifically too much instant change causes most people to avoid becoming better even by their own standards and ambitions. Incremental change of your mind and the world can come from just read 10 pages a day. Consistency by repetition is a key point. Just by doing that it will create a little change everyday that will ripple within your mind for decades. A simple way to understand is to consider if you read 50 pages of a 200 page book once a week you’ll finish that book within a month, but you sacrifice more depth and understanding and the perks of going into flow state easier(another benefit of picking up reading). By reading just 25 pages a day you’ll start finishing those pages faster because of flow and within a week, and even more ironic you might even read a lot more than 25 pages in a but always remember to have a minimum this applies to every habit that you will attempt to create. Consistency creates flow and flow creates intensity and allows you to push your limits and dreams.
When you first pick up a reading habit most people tend to make a critical mistake of picking topics that have zero direct interest to them and it greatly reminds them of being forced to read in school, because of this it becomes more of a chore rather than enabling people to maintain consistency which will slowly poison drip their progress.
By reading your mind grows and so does your world, through this simple habit you will learn lessons that most people will never learn throughout their entire life time. A taste of going professional. Get what you give mentality. This simple habit teaches the foundations of time management and focus, which allows any individual to create growth and change that can change the universe. Reading is the first step to learning to gather information before jumping to conclusions.
Another benefit as you dive deeper is the very nature of entering other people’s minds, as you will start realizing reading is like taking someone’s life and condensing the knowledge to truly process it, what you will realize these people may have very different thoughts from your own and this, will open you up to genius, being able to maintain multiple different thoughts in your mind. That ability will stop you from being radicalized by the singular thoughts of other people and becoming inclined to recognizing social conditioning that exists in the world. That enables you to make clearer unbiased decisions mainly because you have so many perspectives that you now able to form your own opinion.
This is a topic that I can deeper into, but the scope of this article is simply an introduction that will be further developed after introducing different ideas.
