Inspiration:  “You are the same today as you will be in five years except for two things: the books you read and the people you meet.”  Charlie Tremendous Jones

Be: (positive confession) I Am a Reader
  
Do: (first steps) Today, substitute an hour of T.V. time with a good book.  Of course reading books related to your field or role in life will help you improve or gain a new insight; beyond that though, reading for pleasure will more actively involve your mind than the boob tube.

Have: (making dreams reality) As I read I am actually stimulating my brain.  Production of brain chemicals that act like fertilizer occur when we are mentally challenged and likely reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and improve our overall life quality.  Reading just 10 pages a day will help you complete 10 books in the year ahead.

Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life!  God Bless You!
