Voracious Reading Habits Is a Game-changer

How reading 20 minutes changed my life.

Nothing defeats the feeling of snuggling up with a wonderful book. Words take us on exciting adventures, explore unknown lands and meet fascinating people.

We probably all have our favorite genres, our go-to section at any bookstore. We can spend hours thumbing through it, but only have enough money to purchase one or two books.

Now, I am a voracious reader, completing almost 50 books each year. However, I haven’t always enjoyed a good book. Actually, I used to dread it.

I loathed library time in grade school. I never checked out anything at my local library when we visited in the summer for day camp. Not that I couldn’t read: I just didn’t like it.

During junior high school, I discovered my love for mystery novels: the likes of James Patterson, David Baldacci, and Lee Child. They were great novels, but I needed something more.

I fell in love with history during this time, too. I read so much about the Civil War, Reconstruction, and Prohibition. Still today, I always enjoy diving into an American history book or a biography. I learn about leadership, character, and how we got to where we are as a country, among so much more.

Over the years, I gave other genres a day in court. I read memoirs like Mitch Albom’s “Tuesdays With Morrie” and Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Eat, Pray, Love.” I read science fiction by Stephen King, classics like “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and “To Kill a Mockingbird,” and romances by Nicholas Sparks.

This has also led to reading about business, self-help, and travel, just to name a few. My library at home feels like a small bookstore, but that’s okay because it’s diverse in genres.

How did I read so much?

I made time for it.

Every day, no matter what my schedule looks like, I always make time to read, whether in the morning, during lunch, or before bed. And it's been a real game-changer for me.

I have expanded my worldview, sharpened my writing skills, and became an overall better person.

All it takes is 20 minutes a day. And that’s only missing one episode of a TV show. If you have time for television, social media, or texting, you have time to read.

Not only making time, but by reading every day, I’ve also learned to read what I enjoy. If I don’t like a book by page 50, I drop it and pick up something else. Why waste time reading something you dislike when there are plenty of other books out there you will like?

This all takes discipline. We all live the same 24 hours a day, and sure, our lives differ from one another. Making reading part of your daily schedule will a real game-changer for your life.

You’ll be a better communicator. You’ll gain knowledge. You’ll feel better about yourself as a person.

President Harry Truman once said: “Not all readers become leaders. But all leaders must be readers.”

If you aspire to be a leader someday or want to better your life, read for 20 minutes every day. When you do so, you’ll see better life results in no time.

Wherever your literary adventures take you, happy reading!
