A few months ago, my boss at work gave me his copy of "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill and told me that I should read it. That was over 6 months ago, and I am only on chapter 3. I am having a terrible time at finding the motivation to read this book.
I think it is great when people give book recommendations. I have always loved reading. When the reading feels more like a chore or a task, though, it becomes increasingly more difficult to pick up the recommended book. With this particular book, the premise is essentially that if you focus so much on the thing you want, eventually, you will be successful at achieving it, whether that thing is money or not. Reading this book is such a struggle because I don't actually know what I want. The ways that I used to define success keep changing. I thought my life would be so much more different than how it has actually turned out to be that I don't know what it would take for me to consider myself more successful than I currently am.
What does success look like to you? Has someone ever recommended a book to you that you just couldn't bring yourself to read yet? Did anything change your mind to where you were able to finish that book?
