Read Often
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Through reading books, we can learn from others who have walked the path before us, so we don’t have to make the same mistakes and face the same obstacles.
The Stoics read a lot because they understood it was the most efficient way of learning and developing themselves. You can gain the wisdom someone spent a lifetime to acquire (through trial and error) in just a few days merely by reading the books they wrote.
Make reading a daily habit, and your life will change.

“It’s not at all that we have too short a time to live, but that we squander a great deal of it. Life is long enough, and it’s given in sufficient measure to do many great things if we spend it well.”
