Reading (ft Harry Potter)

I spent my childhood not enjoying reading. Trust me I was well-read, but my creative side or rather literary side was lacking. I couldn't come with fake stories to write. I was very limited in terms of writing as an art of expression. It's not the ability, but the ideas wouldn't jump at me.

This is probably one the greatest regrets I have. I wished I read more and enjoy it. In later years, I started reading fiction. The first books I ever read was the Harry Potter series and that changed my perspective on reading. It took me to a new level of discovery. It was an eye-opener. Harry Potter, of course, still remains one of my favourite series ever. It's not only a disturbingly amazing story, so beautifully written but was also the beginning of my reading journey.

Reading is so beneficial in so many ways. It can inspire you, make you cry, make you dead furious. It is the best form of learning. It can take you to new worlds. It is a journey of self-discovery.

Tiny steps

I admit, I lost track again. It's alright. We all do. Things happen. Stumbles are part of the journey. To get back to life, take tiny steps. 1 single action. The key is it doesn't have to be huge, only enough to get you started again.

Consistency

You've got to be consistent in whatever you do. To improve, learn, and be successful, you've got to be committed and consistently do what you must, in order to move in the direction of your dreams. Consistency will determine the value of your determination and how far you will get. Of course, it's not an easy task- to stay focus and not lose faith. Hang in there, 0.1% improvement is always better than zero. Over time it compounds and leads to unexpected results. Be driven by the system, by the action, by what it takes. Persevere and be consistent.

Gratitude

As this year comes to a close, I believe the most rewarding action to take is to list down all the things you are grateful for. It will be a gateway to reflect on all that happened during the year. It'll be an opportunity to unwind and see all the blessings you received. Sometimes what appears to be challenging and undesirable turned out to be a learning curve.  This is the time to be reminded of all the lessons learnt. Life has so much to teach us, but all lessons are learnt within and kept inside. Be aware that we have all that we need at any given time. I'm grateful for 2017 and all that it came with. Count your blessings.
