Work on building your library (book recommendations)

IMG_20180514_061251_194.jpgAs someone who has read a lot of books, I truly believe you can always tell what someone wants to achieve in life just by looking at their library.
If someone says they want to be a millionaire, for example, look at their library. Does their library represent that of someone who wants to be a millionaire?
If someone says they want to be a successful writer, do they have a collection of books written by individuals who have successfully built a career through writing
?

What about you? What does your library say about you and what you want?

It’s very possible that you may not even have a library yet, but your library, which is the collection of books you decide to read, will show what you really want in life. So, before you start to build your library, ask yourself, what is it that you want in life? Whatever it is you want to achieve in life, there are an endless supply of books that will teach you how to get it.

Want to be financially wealthy? Then read books like “The Richest Man in Babylon" by George Clason or "Unshakeable" by Tony Robbins.

Want to have a loving and supportive romantic relationship? Then read books like “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus," by John Gray or “The 5 Love Languages” by Gary Chapman.

Want to feel happy and fulfilled? Then read books like “The Happiness Advantage” by Shawn Achor or “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari” by Robin Sharma.

The cool thing about these books is that a lot of the books I just mentioned are less than 230 pages, which fits nicely with our goal of reading.
So, again, ask yourself, what is it that you want to achieve in life? Then don’t be lazy in gathering the books that will teach you and instruct you on how to do just that
