𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘱 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘵, 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩 – Psalm 119:105
After more than 30 years of listening to people's stories, here's something I've learned...
We live in a world of quick answers and short attention spans.
Videos are wonderful.
Podcasts are helpful.
But books invite us to slow down.
Reading stretches our imagination, builds empathy and helps us think more deeply.
It doesn't have to be a counselling book.
Read a biography.
A novel.
A cookbook.
A book about gardening.
A book that teaches you something you've never known before.
The goal isn't to finish a hundred books.
The goal is to keep feeding your mind.
Today's challenge: Read for 15 minutes today instead of scrolling.
Question: What's one book that has stayed with you over the years? Share it with me in the comments, if you'd like.
Warm regards,
𝒮𝒶𝓇𝒶𝒽
