My Favorite Leisure time.
I was discussing with @acgalarza about passions, and I was a bit confused about what passion is all about and can't seem to find any. I wrote to him the same thing am about writing here, and that is "Recently I love Writing on Hive, I love engaging, I love Viewing, and I love participating in communities especially entries". Don't know if this is passion or not but I ask him "What do you think, is this a passion"? Honestly I am still confused about the response he gave.
Ok so I really have so much leisure time, of course If i ain't doing the house chores, and there's power supply i usually do watch some movies, but i really don't fancy this leisure mood as i find it a waste of time since am not impacting and training the mind, in any form.
If am not working, there is always something that keeps my mind energized, and that is Reading, i know its a bit skeptical, but i find it soothing as it brings out that mind control tactics in action. I usually love reading when I am all alone, no distractions, no noise, nobody around. I call this my alone time.
Reading books, especially ones that can teach the mind and develop one personally, is what I usually go for. Am not talking about Romance, or some kinda love story or tragic books… nah…… Am talking about strategies, knowledge, improving business, improving success, Impacting one's mind etc these are my kinda books
I Have tons of collections of books all pieced together, but unfortunately, most of my visitors always get interested in seeing them that way and ask they take one home to read. Maybe because I placed my collection of books at the side of the television shelf in the form of decoration, so it's usually noticeable, and can't resist the sight of anyone coming in.
The one I am currently reading now is titled " The seven habits of highly effective people, Powerful lessons in personal change" Written by Stephen R.Covey.
The main reason I Love reading this book is that it's all about tactics on how to adapt to change no matter what life throws at you, it also teaches How to take advantage of the wisdom and power of the opportunities that this change creates .
So far so good this book has been helpful for my personal growth, I now see events and circumstances in different views. Without crying or nagging about how things are going, I therefore change the approach of things by creating my own opportunities using the situation of things, whether good or bad. And this book taught me that strategy.
This is my response to one of the questions from the Hive Ghana Weekly engagement prompt WK8. Cheers! to the HiveGhana community for their lovely questions each week…

Weldon dear , and I am happy for you because by reading you're acquiring more knowledge and understanding of things that you do not know ,and also it builds vocabulary, it increases emphaty and also strengthens the brain
Yes of course its a very important tool kit, but most people find it hard to read books maybe cause the mind is so busy with other things
Great piece dear friend, beyond life's exposure, learning from books is a faster way to be exposed to life
Yes of cause. Glad to see we're on the same page, thanks for stopping by
You're welcome
☺️☺️
Leaders are readers of course, and you are on the right path. I enjoy reading too books that satisfy my insatiable mind. Good work #Dreemport #Dreemerforlife
Thanks a lot reading is the to expose and control our mind, bending it to follow our will and not its
Reading is something I do once in awhile although is great to have it as a hobby.
To your question: if that's what you love, it makes you happy and you keep finding yourself doing often effortlessly then I think it is your passion.
Reading is one of my passions too. Although it can be mentally painful when it seems like you’re away from achieving your goal. I have never come across any exercise as reading. I haven’t. It builds and it can be really damning too. I love the collection you have. It has added to mine too. 😘
When I used to read books, this pattern swept off all my books. People just keep collecting and not returning 😥
Hahaha that is humans for are. Always collect without remitting
I thoroughly enjoy reading too. I think of it as an adventure - especially researching.. Yup it's a passion for me! Thanks for sharing. Your sitting area looks lovely :)
Yahh yahh they're some books you'll read and its just as though you're inside acting or watching the live senerio..
Ohh and thanks for the compliment of the sitting area☺️☺️
LOL, Someone once said TV is the chewing gum of the eye. The truth is, many prefer to watch TV all day long but it depends what are you watching. Watching garbage is a waste of time and even if you're watching educational channels, it's still not productive and can be considered a waste of time after some time.
Lolzzz chewing gum of the eye, now thats a good one
Seriously I like the way you depend your leisure hours , and also the books mentioned here in your post , I must buy some of them so that I can be energized my mind too.
Yes of cause they're needed and you need them alot. For you to be the master of your mind and not its slave also that
is just one reason books are read
infact you're my kind of person watching TV or movie is a waste of time to me too
I also love reading too so nice meeting you my kind of person 🤝
Haha the pleasure is all mine 🤠🤠
But dont you watch a action or? love movies
Reading is good for the mind to help control and guide oneself not to be the mind slave but its master
