“I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you”
Psalms 119:11
The mind requires stimulation to reach a transformative stage. One of the best ways to stimulate it is by reading. Reading allows you to soar on the wings of other people’s great ideas and insights. It elevates your wisdom by accessing their resources and facilitating the study of their strategies.
1. No one will ever grow to their maximum potential without reading
First, reading the Word of God diligently every day will help you live in the will of God, and it will help you keep growing in your relationship with Him.
Second, reading great books, stories, biographies, articles, and blogs related to your strengths is one of the fastest ways to grow on your journey. Take the wisdom and insights others offer and apply them to your situation.
2. Successful people are readers
I have never met a highly successful person who is not an avid reader. Books are to the mind what nutrition is to the body.
The more you dive into great books, the more growth you’ll experience.
“In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.”
~Mortimer Jerome Adler
If you want inspiration, simply read. If you want information, study what you read. If you want transformation, act on what you read.
Have a blessed week,
Pastor (Rev. Elias Limones)
