I love books. Granted, I don’t actually read as many of them as I would like. But I love them none the less.
Actually, I think it is the possibilities that books hold that I love. They represent what I can know, the experiences I can have, or who I can become. If I could only get through them!
I get about 1/3 of the way through most books and lose interest. Put them down to be discovered later under piles of other books I have not finished. If there are exercises to be done at the end of each chapter, I probably left off at the end of chapter 1…maybe 2, because I didn’t have the notebook and pen handy.
I want the knowledge the books hold, but being a fairly slow reader, I am not patient enough to search through the pages for the nuggets.
Most of my reading lately has been about creating a better life spiritually and monetarily. And I am not finding much new information that is worth the search.
How many seminars, lectures, workshops, books, articles, etc. do I need to go through before I hear that one statement, law, or question that puts it all into place and makes it all easy? I think the answer approaches infinity. I don’t think there is that one statement that will put it all into place for me and make it easy.
What is occurring to me is that I probably have all the knowledge I need to live the life I want to live, but I am not applying what I know. That is the kicker.
I understand the principles, but I am not applying them.
Where do I start?
