I don't have time ...

You don’t have time for a lot of things! Why is reading any different? 

It bothers me when anyone claiming to have a passion for reading will so cavalierly utter words such as, “I don’t have time.”

You find the time! No one said you have to read a whole book in one sitting, one day, one week or one month. Time is a wonderful thing; it is always there and moving and time won’t judge you for your slow reading. Your brain will not judge you for the long lapses between chapters, it will rejoice in the moments that you allow it to spend in an imagined world.

Reading is a passion like any other and if you truly are passionate about it you will find the time to feed that passion. A few pages here, a chapter or two there, a few minutes waiting in the doctor’s office or a few hours lounging on the beach. 

There is always time for what you are passionate for. So find the time, find the time for your passions, the way you would the mundane daily tasks.
