I Quit Reading.

Sunday, 9 November 2025·1 min read· Mindset

There was a time I used to read two books a month. Self-help, business, mindset — you name it, I had it.

But here's the truth… I'd finish a book, feel inspired for a day or two, and then completely forget what I learned.

My bookshelf kept growing — but I wasn't.

One of those books was The 5AM Club by Robin Sharma. I underlined every quote, highlighted every page. And for years, I tried it on and off… but never really committed to it.

Until now.

Last week, I decided to finally live it — not perfectly, but consistently. And here's what happened in just 5 days of waking up one hour earlier:

🧘‍♂️ I meditated 4 out of 5 days — starting my mornings grounded and calm.
👶 I spent more time with Arian before the rush of the day.
😴 I slept before 10PM every night — because you can't rise early without resting early.
💪 I hit the gym 4 times — with more energy than I've had in months.

That's a lot for one week. It's not just about waking up early — it's how that one habit quietly fixes everything else.

For years, I was obsessed with reading books. But reading doesn't change your life — implementing does.

Now, I've switched completely. Instead of reading 24 books a year, I read maybe one or two — but I live them.

Right now, it's $100M Money Models by Alex Hormozi. I've read it 3 times in the last two months — not because I forgot it, but because I'm implementing everything it teaches over the next six.

That's where the real growth happens — not in the pages, but in the practice. 💭
