       I love to learn. I love to read. I can spend a long time reading about this or that. I can read about American history for a couple hours. I spend quite a long time reading a Biblical commentary, or multiple commentaries consecutively. Non-fiction is great. There are so many subjects to consider. And, of course, there is self-development. That’s probably the most interesting to read of them for hope of discovering something new. It’s always fun to be on the hunt for that next realization, that next thing that can be implemented into our lives in order to try to make them better. All that being said, the truth is that I can only read so much. I get tired of reading because while it is fun, it does take a lot of mental energy. That’s because your eyes are moving across the pages constantly. If it’s something that you have never read before, you’re taking in new information. You’re downloading it to your brain. That requires energy. That requires thinking. And while it’s fun, I can only do it so much. Personally, after about two to three hours of reading something I am usually done. That’s about as far as I can get with whatever it is.
