Read about Life

I love to read stories about people’s lives and how they got to where they are today. I’ve read so many of these books, I started to wonder if I was looking for something. Why am I so fascinated in reading autobiographies? Growing up, I was just fascinated in learning about the people I looked up to. I’ve always had a love for sports and Hollywood. I need both my fingers and toes to count how many books I’ve read on just the William sisters alone! As I got older, I realized…I was looking for a sense of direction. I was looking for motivation and guidance on the next steps I should be making so I can get to where they are. I recently read Viola Davis’s Finding Me. That book opened my eyes immensely. Viola went through numerous challenges and ups and downs in her life. More lows than highs. She still faces hardships today but you must push through. Through her story it was instilled in me that there’s no right path and there’s no right decision. You can make decision that you feel will get you where you want to go and it doesn’t. You can feel like you’re at the end of the road and then you finally get a break through! Don’t ever give up on yourself. Just because it was hard and difficult doesn’t mean it was worthless or that you failed. It’s shows your strength and what you can overcome to reach success.
