The art of finding calm… and finishing a book

The Art of Finding Calm… and Finishing a Book 📚

I’ve owned it for three vacations now — but never found the calm to actually finish it, let alone start it.

Back in my university days, I’d effortlessly read Forsyth, Grisham, and Clancy alongside my textbooks.
Since starting my professional career, that habit has slowly disappeared.

Always busy. Always outside. Always curious about what lies beyond the next mountain.
Why read patiently when there’s always something new to see or learn?

Now, I find myself in a phase where calm and reflection matter more than ever.
It’s time to redefine the future 🎨 — metaphorically, but also quite literally — by finally picking up that book from 2022. And it feels good. It reads easily.

Maybe this is exactly what has always defined me:
Always moving forward, always eager to explore new opportunities — but now with more focus on calm and strategic reflection.

Sometimes, it’s valuable to pause consciously, so that afterward, you can look ahead with even more clarity and energy.

How many days has it been since you last took a real break — and read more than 10 pages? 💪
