i just realised, my relationship with books is the longest, most committed relationship of my life and it has never once let me down.

No matter how far you’ve come my friends, no matter how difficult you had it, do not forget what it took to survive your earlier life, because that forgetfulness is how empathy dies.

You are not your grand plans. You are your daily patterns.

If you don't actively shape the life you desire each day, you'll eventually wake up to find that years have slipped by unnoticed.

Apparently, the secret to life is just having gratitude towards God all the time.

i love that feeling when you’re reading a book and you get to the part where you find out why the book is titled the way it is

Choose one small practice that builds on itself and organise your days around it. If you stay faithful to that routine, your goals will begin to move on their own. Real change happens this way - consistently, one habit shaping the next.

books are so good, man. real gratitude to everyone who takes the time to write them.

I think books don’t let you read them until you’re ready. Until it’s the right time.

Hot take: books make for an excellent Valentine.

begin. begin badly. begin afraid. begin with the wrong tools and the wrong words and the wrong hour of the morning. begin anyway. because the carpenter’s hands were not ready when he built his first table - they were simply willing. and willingness, in the economy of a life, is worth more than talent and more than timing and more than any condition the mind invents to delay the moment when the body must finally do what it has always known it was built to do. I will say it again, in case the first one was absorbed by the part of you that is already composing a reason to wait: begin. with the urgency your life deserves.

Remove age from your plans, it adds unnecessary pressure…

pick a book again. let yourself disappear into a story for a while. it does something good to your spirit.

Reading books kinda makes the world in your head a nicer place to live.

Read books without the pressure of retaining everything. Read multiple books on the same topic. Let the ideas simmer.

"Reading is boring." So is your vocabulary and imagination.
