Read Slowly

Dear Reader, Slow Down

Reading isn’t a competition.
It’s not a work project or a side hustle.
It’s not a race to hit 100 pages a day or 200 books a year.
It’s not a bragging right.
It’s not something you do for your boss.
It’s not a way to look smarter or impress your friends.
It’s not a measure of your worth.

Reading is a gift you give yourself.
So stop tearing the wrapping off so damn fast.

Enjoy it. 🎁

Until next time, read slowly – take notes – apply the ideas.
