Don't Get Through Books, Get FROM Books
I love books!! Believe it or not, getting through a book, cover to cover, is tough for me and I’m sure many of you feel the same way. Then, years ago, the way I thought I had to read books changed. I attended a seminar and the speaker said “don’t get through books, get FROM books!” Brilliant! I get more out of books than I ever did before and I hardly ever read them cover to cover.
How do you change your mindset about reading? Getting from the books you’d like to read can be done in your car, in your bedroom, while on a walk, or even in the restroom! I’ve turned my car into a mobile library, even my kids get in the car and ask what I’m currently listening to. I love it!
I challenge you to try something different to get from what you’re currently reading!
