Audiobooks. Lockdown. And new Opportunities

Who would think that staying at home can be so challenging and tough?! I’m sure, most of us dreamed of a week or better a month off work. But now when we have it, it doesn't feel as satisfying as we imagined it would.

But, don’t panic. Pandemic can keep us in lockdown for weeks or even months, but it can't imprison our spirit and it, for sure, can't stop us from growing personally and professionally.

Tough times are not to break us but to give new opportunities for a change.

It's time to reset our mindset and just to take a moment to look around at things that in the chaos of daily responsibilities we had no time to even notice.

For some, it may be just the right time to think about their dreams with a bit more seriousness.

Life is not an endless event but a span of moment that can stop at any minute.

For some, it may be a call to reorganize their lives, to actually find a window on their schedule list for family. For some, it may be the time to step up the path of personal growth. For some, it may be the opportunity to become better professionally by having these hours of free time that you could use on pumping your professional skills.

Whatever it is, I’m sure you can use this time in lockdown beneficially for your future. So today, I prepared a list of audiobooks that can keep you a company and help you to grow as a person and as a professional.
