I Need To Read – Josh Journal
This is an emergency, this is not a drill. I need to read!
I think this is the longest I have gone with struggling to read. Maybe I have gone longer without actually reading, but the will wasn’t there then. So it wasn’t a problem.
The problem this time is that I actually want to read. I have the book on my table, I have even read the first chapter.
Now, I can’t go forward with the book. How annoying.
For all I had heard about Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers, I never expected it to be this much of a struggle.
Finishing the first chapter was a chore in itself. I know I can will myself through anything, but at this point, I can’t help asking, “is it worth it?”
I have a large library of books calling for my attention. Why should I waste time snoozing on one?
I have already decided to move on to the next book. My question now is should I pick one from my current library, or should I wait for one I recently paid for?
Mary Ogundimu is releasing her book “Suffering and Smiling” in a few days. I have it on good authority that it will be a great read. I already paid for mine and should be getting it in a few days.
Should I wait and get back to reading with that or do I need a palate cleanser to precede it?
Whatever I decide, I’ll let you know in the next few days.
In the meantime, you can visit Mary’s website at MaryOgundimu.com
And you can order for your copy of Suffering and Smiling at https://flutterwave.com/pay/sufferingandsmilingngn
Hopefully, I get back in the mental space to read Outliers sometimes in the future.
Make my 2k no go waste.
