Day 6: The 1 Reason Why You Should Read Books And Struggle Less In Life
Follow along my Ship 30 for 30 journey as I learn what it means to be a writer in this digital age.
You have a Q? There's an A in a book somewhere.
Often, we think we are different from our ancestors.
You could say technology and opportunity-wise, we are different (but then there's a discussion there as well).
But when it comes to being human beings - at our core - we are not that different from great-grandfathers and mothers.
We share the same hope and desires.
We share the same pain.
We have the same questions. And we are always looking for answers.
Keeping that in mind, you’ll realise that the books written by our ancestors are a gold mine.
Hundreds and thousands of authors came before us, faced the same problems and wrote a book about it.
All we have to do is find that book and read it.
Relationships. Career. Singlehood. Parenthood. Daily Errands. Anything and everything under the sun.
You don't need to struggle on your own. The answers are already out there.
Bonus benefit:
Knowing there's an answer in a book somewhere lets you understand that you can overcome any obstacle you face. It gives you hope, faith, trust and security.
