Anyone in the world

Growing up, I got acquainted and heard over and over again the cliche 'Your life is a product of the books you read and the people you associate with'. How true the above statement is. Ignorance has been one of the pronounced banes of success in the world today. You cannot go beyond your knowledge. The good book says 'My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge'. In this age, wherein knowledge is being increased; men are still unwilling to learn and know past their comfort zone. To move ahead and remain relevant in this generation, you must be knowledgeable. Know as much as you can. Be open to knowledge outside of what you are accustomed to.

As I packed my belongings to my husband's place, I realized that I have books that I am yet to know what the contents are. Who knows the impact being aware of the truth and experience shared in those books would have in my life. I am denying myself a lot, to not have created time to read. Can I commit to reading one of those every week? What level of advantage will that give me? Achieving this will mean adding new knowledge from 15 books into my life from now till the year ends. It will surely empower me and take me a step further towards making an impact in my world.

I invite you to join me in this 'One book a week challenge'. Our lives will be empowered when we engage in this challenge until the end.
