"The only way to do
all things you'd like to do
is to read."
Tom Clancy
We may not always have the skills to fulfill our desires, and that is how reading can help. Reading broadens our world, our experiences, and our dreams. Through the written word, all of our senses can be heightened.
The adventure of traveling may can begin right now. There are endless books with breath taking pictures to help us decide where exactly we want to go. If we want to plant differing flowers, we can explore available gardening books to teach us what grows best in our climate and for how long.
There are numerous activities to choose from and perhaps we do not have the time to follow through now. Preparation can begin with pilfering through books to firm our ideas or narrow our choices. When we do finally have the time, we are better prepared to begin. If the desire is to express desires through art, explore endless resources on technique, quality of brushes, and available paints.
Author Tom Clancy was not accepted into the military as he had planned. His poor vision prevented him from enlisting. He poured his passion into writing about military interests. In this way, he was able to experience what he had been disallowed. (Rumor has it he even bought a tank!)
