Fearless Friday - Read a book

I am a slow reader. I have been all of my life.

It was hard growing up knowing I needed to read a certain amount of pages, and knowing I might not have enough time to finish all of them!

I had to figure out other ways that I could make up for the bad grades I had due to reading. That's when I learned that projects were my saving grace. I can create a model train that goes through a tri-fold board, and it actually works, but I can't read 100 pages in one night.

We all have things we are good at, and things we're not. It just so happens that I am not a fast reader.

And I'm okay with that.

. . . 

I remember thinking when I was younger, I would be able to read for pleasure when I got older and I would feel a constant pressure to "read faster"!

Honestly, I haven't read much since I left school, and that's such a shame!

I love reading a book where you can enter into an entire different world and be completely transformed through a character's personal triumph! It's magical.

. . .

Remembering my promise to myself, I have begun reading books again! I have explored a range of topics and am enjoying the freedom of reading on my own pace, on my own time. The only due date is when I need to renew or return it to the public library.

I'm fearlessly reading and loving my experience traveling to far off lands and learning how to eat a more healthy diet.

I have found joy in what used to be a burden, and I'm honestly getting faster at it in the process.

. . . 

Find something that used to be a burden to you, and see how you can revisit it in a new, fearless way.

Cheers!
