Greetings, fellow Steemians!

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Says Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. For if there can only be one pursuit in life that can be deemed worthwhile, it is the greatest of them all; the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom.

The utilization of the blessings that this world has to offer directly correlates with one’s general knowledge of the rules that govern the universe and how each and every thread connects to the great complicated web of existence.
Living a life in this world is a perplexed maze of opportunities and potentials.

Successful people in life are those who know the underlying schematic of this complex maze. Opportunities are not inherently programmed into this creation. People make their own opportunities, and in order to do that, one must be well aware of the potential that this infinite web of being has to offer.

Simply put, the more you know, the better you will perform in every aspect of life. Knowledge is the pinnacle of the human endeavor to improve and open the gates of salvation and tranquility to life on a large scale.

Reading books is the standard practice for gaining knowledge and wisdom. Books may have once been an important part of many cultures from around the globe, but with the advent of internet and its growth into popularity, we could argue that reading is not a widespread practice or even a pastime any more.

Our cultural inclination towards instant gratification and pleasure has left a terrible wound on the face of education and general wisdom of the young generation. Unlike many modern indulgences of technology that add nothing to your value as a human being, reading has proven to be an astonishingly rewarding practice.

Apart from knowledge and wisdoms, the practice of reading books can be beneficial to you on several levels of consciousness and subconsciousness. I am going to explain some of these benefits in the next section of this blog post.

One of the first and foremost benefits of reading is the mental stimulation that comes with it. Just like the rest of the organs and muscles in our body, our brain needs practice and care to stay in good health and shape. Reading can easily take care of that and even stimulate your brain wires to the point of increasing intelligence and creativity.

Eloquence is another one of the perks of reading as a daily practice. When you are constantly reading, the domain of your vocabulary expands and you will speak with more dignity and decorum. As a result, the world around you will take you more seriously. The difference between the speech of an educated man and an uneducated one is more transparent than the difference of night and day.

Books are worlds within words. When you open a book to read, fiction or nonfiction, that book will take you out of the real world and put you in an imaginary world full of new wonders to discover.

People have used books as a form of escapism for as long as anyone can remember, and it is also worth mentioning that through this escapist nature of this phenomenon, you will feel less stressed if you bring this practice and habit to your daily routine, specially if you are struggling with social anxiety and all the other troubles that come with it.

But gaining knowledge, or reading books, much like anything else in our daily routine, is a habit that needs practice and consistency. If you truly believe in the value of improving your knowledge and wisdom, and want to implement this particularly beneficial habit in your life, you need to practice it slowly and with consistency.

It can be wearisome and difficult at first, but what habit isn’t? You can try to look at it not necessarily as a practice of self-improvement, but as an activity that can bring you much joy and delight in the long-term.

Important Note!

I have been working very hard on this blog since the beginning. I have a very busy life but I am giving my best and believe me I have shared experiences that I have been coaching thousands of people and I know that the change of the Mindset should be daily. I am already grateful to see you giving upvotes to each other and you can see this with the fact that many already have 8, 9, 10 upvotes. But I'm sure that with the effort of all of us we will see a community with, 40, 50, 80 upvotes and for that everyone should get engaged so we can make it come true. I believe and we can! Resteem...

***Remember Community: Please, if you commented and upvote on a new post I did, please always go back to the previous one because if someone in the community commented lastly because of time zone differences it will be without your upvote and that would not be fair.

You all know the goal! We can reach: 50+ Upvotes each others!

Attention!!!

I'm reading all the meaningful comments from the posts.

I am here making a list of all of you who have helped build this community by voting for each other who write meaningful comments and soon I will respond to everyone with comment and thank you all because I can already see this spirit being built in this Positive Mindset community and help between all of you.

You will receive my upvote in all material and brief comments I will do this in all the posts I am following very closely and I can see what the people who are generous and contribute to this legacy that I am trying to build with all of you can become reality in a short time.

AND

First of all, I would like to thank all of you, who are the most active and proactive in this community, showing your generosity and always with meaningful comments. From now on I will always make a list of these incredible people who have helped to expand our goal of growing ever more.

And if you are not on this list, please, after making your comment, write in that comment: Include my profile in the list, because I do or want to be part of all this with all of you!

But I ask that if you are new around here you read many of the previous posts because they make it clear that we are building a community with respect among all, generosity and this blog is for those who really want to start moving their Mindset to positive and moreover be part of the growth of all of us who contribute to this blog. Please do not ask to include you in the list if you are just wanting votes or speculating because we want here people genuinely attuned to growth and good attitudes and as I have always said with Respect as the basis of all, generosity and positivity!

Remember the rules. First leave your comment meaningful and then leave your message that you want to be included in this comment. Everyone is welcome and I hope this list grows exponentially because this will be a reflection of everyone's growth. I really do not want to be able to update the list of so many people that can be included in it. Let's go together towards the 50+ upvotes to recognize the efforts of those who dedicate their time so that we can become stronger and leave a legacy of growth in our lives and in the lives of others!

ABOUT OUR LIST!!! WE NEED GROW THIS LIST! LET'S GO TOGETHER IN THIS COMMUNITY - RESTEEM!

I'm not going to put this list in all the posts because I do not quite understand why, but some people did not like me to tag them even though this list is a list of acknowledgment and thanks from the people I've observed being the ones who write meaningful comments , are generous voting for each other and contribute more to this family we are building here. So stay tuned to the text below and in the next posts.
