Is reading among your 2014 resolutions?

 

Thanks to our esteemed readers for the year 2013 and welcome to the year 2014! May God continue to guide and provide for you this year and the years ahead. A resolution is a statement of intent which an individual or a group of people is willing to accomplish at a particular period.

The year 2014 has started and a lot of resolutions have been made by individuals; some people’s list of what to do and what not to do can be endless. And it is not based on religion but man needs to call on God for help in whatever we decide to do. Though deliberate and precise efforts must be internalized. Discipline, focus, planning and prayer are very pertinent to achieve what you and I promise to accomplish this year. Please note that prayer will not replace planning and planning cannot take the place of prayer. So we must work as if everything depends on work and pray as if everything depends on prayer concurrently.

As an individual, how many books have you vowed to read this year 2014? Or have you decided to buy books and give people to read? Are you ready to exchange yours with others? With this, you will be making an impact on the life of people without having to be with them physically. Millions of people did not fulfill the resolution they made last year. why? It’s not that they didn’t mean to meet their targets but the majority have no clue on how to go about it, so before you know it they are back to the starting point.

Let reading be among your habits this year because of the effects it will have on other declarations you have made. When you decide to do away with some habits or learn new ones, don’t just say it verbally and end it there. Find books that talk about that particular issue and read them. You can easily get them unless you decide not to look for them. When you read more, you will know more. I once read a book that says ‘The number of books you read in the last five years and the type of friends you follow will determine where you will be in the next five years’. This is a strong assertion which I strongly believe. Resolutions made will not accomplish themselves unless you have knowledge on each of them and how to accomplish them. Therefore you need to read more to be resolved to get the result.

Read your way to good health, wealth and prosperity.

Read! Read!! Read!!!
