How have books transformed my life; & how they can change yours too?

Hey lovely people! If you ever ask me what is the thing I love the most in my life; it would be sure my god, family, friends, and of course no doubt books. but, do you know guys, that books were not a part of my life 2 years ago? I didn't even know anything about the book industry and a reader's life. but, then thanks to bookstagram ( a reading community on Instagram) who made me a reader and transformed my life completely.

books have changed my life dramatically and I think they've helped me to grow as a person and learn so many new things on a regular basis. till date, I've read 60+ books and they've taught me what I've never learned in school and college.

so, people let's not waste any more time and see what lessons I've learned from reading books and how they've changed my whole perspective and life completely.

Transformation 1 — From an introverted girl to an outspoken person.

After starting reading, I learned that each and every individual is special in their own way and everyone has something special in themselves, they just need to find it out. Reading taught me how to communicate with everyone and how to put a point in front of a stranger and stand out in a conversation.

before getting into books, I was a very shy person and I used to hate interacting with new people. I was so shy that I didn't even use to participate a lot in the extracurricular activities of my school. but, Thanks to books, just after completing my schooling I started reading and learned a lot of new communication hacks that are helping me in my real life regularly and improving my personality as well.

Transformation 2 — Improvisation of my vocabulary

English was not my cup of tea in school. and I used to feel so scared & blank during debate competitions or English-speaking competitions in school. but, today I can confidently say that I've overcome this fear of speaking with the help of books. They've transformed my vocabulary skills and helped me to learn lot many new words and improve my dictionary daily.

I think when you read you get into the pages so deeply that you forget everything else happening around you. and it becomes more effective when you read aloud each and every word written on the pages. I would tell this tip to everyone that if you want to improvise your pronunciation skills and vocabulary then you must read the book while speaking the words loudly. this genuinely helps a lot.

Transformation 3 — Broaden my vision of thinking

guys, what if ill tell you that you can expand your knowledge by just reading some pages of a book? isn't that quite easy and the cheapest source of gaining knowledge in a world full of expensive ideas and sources?

Yes, this is completely possible if you have books with you. there are some special non-fiction books that have helped me so much and let me learn so many good things about life. those books are — think like a monk, inner engineering, Life’s amazing secrets & The $100 startup. these books are a gem and you’ll read them in order to learn new things about life & business.

Transformation 4 — Gratitude toward everything

Gratitude is the most important discipline we all must learn in order to achieve something in life. being grateful could be the best kind of gesture toward life. before starting my reading journey, I was not so grateful kind of a person; I always used to complain about my life and was very ungrateful to god.

But, just after getting into the books I got to know that being grateful is quite necessary if you want to live a satisfied and happy life. accepting everything we have and being just happy is the only key to success. so, guys books again were the only reason for my transformation towards gratitude in a positive way.

Transformation 5 — Peace and compassion

Reading has helped me a lot when it comes to being calm and a composed human being. I was never so peaceful and compassionate towards everything around me. after reading books, I got to know that being able to live this life is such a precious experience and we should never waste it with any kind of disruption and bad deeds.

I am transformed as a human, I've learned how to tackle any difficult situation, I've learned how to give myself some personal space, how not to compare myself with others, and most importantly to be calm and peaceful in any complex situation only with the help of books.

Conclusion:-

Stephen King has said absolutely right — ‘Books are a uniquely portable magic.’

They let you travel the whole world without even moving your feet. books are the most important tool that can help you with every problem in your life. they've helped me to grow, learn and gain some knowledge about life.
