Audible Keeps My Hunger For Knowledge Alive

Open your ears.

"There are not enough hours in the day" is a saying you'll hear me say quite often. I'm that gal with the ambition to accomplish a hundred things in one day. Maybe a tad unrealistic, but some days I get pretty dang close to doing so! Other days, not so much...

When I do get a moment to myself, I find it extremely difficult to fit in reading. Because, let's be honest, once you get some downtime from a long day of work, all you wanna do is relax, eat, or sleep.

However, if you think about it, we are constantly listening. Why not optimize your downtime with Audible?

Audible has been my go-to for reading. I may not be actually reading, but I am still obtaining very useful information. What I enjoy most about audible is that I can take it anywhere with me.

You can take Audible with you on your daily commute to work. I know I spend at least an hour in my car going to and from work. If you do the math, that is basically an hour every day for 5 days a week. Think about how many books you can listen to in a matter of a month, let alone a year. That's a lot!

Nowadays, it's harder to dedicate the time to sit down and read. Audible allows you to multitask and fit reading into your schedule instead of you allocating time for it.

One of my favorite times to listen to Audible is at the gym. There's always a time to listen to music to get a good pump in or give you that adrenaline rush to push yourself past your limit. Yet, Audible is perfect to fit into your gym regimen. I listen to Audible when I'm doing cardio. Sure, I could easily be jamming out to Halsey's "Without Me" on loop or dedicating my time to my slightly unhealthy obsession of watching "Say Yes To The Dress," but I also have the option to listen to a self-help book on Audible that has the potential to impact my life tremendously.

I say give Audible a try. You'll realize how much easier it is to just pop your headphones in and listen to the soothing voice of an Audible narrator. If you're anything like me, you'll find yourself nodding to yourself in deep reflection, maybe a sigh of relief escapes past your lips because you feel reassured that you're not alone in your feelings, or you may be so enlightened by the information you've obtained that it becomes a conversation starter with others.

The bottom line is that we should always be striving to learn more. Education doesn't just stop. We must make a concerted effort to learn more about ourselves, our surroundings, the workforce, and more. This will ultimately enhance our performance in life. We may not have all the time in the world, but with Audible, we can fit in learning in places we'd least expect.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
