Reading reflections: My personal journey.

Who is calling my name?😩 and why do I feel someone is calling me out or monitoring me? Why do I feel attacked? Maybe because of guilt. Yea, it obviously has to be guilt cos the last time I touched a physical book was on the month of August. Note that I said touched not read.😏

I had come back from this one month trip and was feeling all too serious and told myself that I am about to take my spiritual walk to the next level. Yes because it was a spiritual book I wanted to read named fruitful fruits. I had picked it up with all enthusiasm and was Looking forward to diving all in and gleaming all the blessedness it has to offer but here I am. It sat close to my pillow for some time and then relocated to my side table for sometime more and then found its way up to the table and that’s where it had remained till today.

Yea, I know I am not proud of myself too. You can also say that I need deliverance from not reading even when I speculate about it a lot. For some reason, physical books seem to have been deleted from my dictionary for a long time. There was a time when I was on PDF reading spree and it really helped me a lot and since then I had somehow gotten used to reading PDF’s and I have quiet a lot of them on my phone but lately my reading habit has been so bad.

I can’t even boast of having finished one book this year and I hide my face in shame while saying it. Today, in our business training, I saw some books on display and I wanted to buy the new otedola book and so was told it’s fifteen thousand Naira. I wanted to also buy one or two but my pocket and account balance wasn’t telling me the truth. I simply admired them and told myself that I’d start reading from the PDF’s I had first.

It’s been a long while I picked up a physical book to read definitely not this year but I tried reading an ebook last month and some other months in the year but I haven’t been able to finish one. Shame on me. Thanks to this prompt though. The book I read a little was the richest man in Babylon, Atomic habits and a spiritual book. I read all of them partly.

With this prompt now, I am resolving to get back to my books and I want to read 1 book every week until the year ends that brings me to the fact that on my vision board, that I would have to include reading 10 books before the year ends. Hmmm, it’s workable right? Let see how it goes. I’d go back to my atomic habits and start from there this night. I must read for one hour before going to bed tonight. This time around it’s not a physical book that I am reading and not a hard copy book but an ebook. I turn a new leave. No more reading laziness and so help me God.
