Many people forget about the importance of reading self help books. Yet, some books are so powerful and inspiring, they can change your life forever. You will never see life the same way as before. The wisdom and knowledge from these books can make you smile or bring tears into your eyes. They make you realize that maybe you have been living life the wrong way. It creates a chain reaction in your soul that transforms your reality and changes your perspective about life. I call this the butterfly effect because you become a new person. A part of you dies and another part is reborn. These books not only teach you how to live a happy life but also how to thrive and achieve your goals. They teach you how to find true happiness and gives you motivation to keep chasing after your dreams.
To give you an example; when you go to school and you are asked to learn about a subject; let’s say mathematics or physics, most probably the teacher will ask you to read a book about that subject. The same concept applies when you are looking to learn about life. You need to study life in order to start creating the reality you always dreamed of. You have to believe in yourself and most importantly believe that miracles can happen to you at any time in your life.
