I find that these days, all I want is to listen to, read and do things that uplift my spirit as it seems like everything else is made in this world to dampen it.
At the closing of last year, I started listening to podcasts and following audios that had more speech in them than music. Truth is, it was one of my year’s resolution to start my day early and clear, and end it accomplished.

And boy was it working! I listened to podcasts from motivational to educational. I was always listening even on the road and I find there’s no better medicine than empowering and encouraging voices lapping over each other with strong music in the background.
It’s so easy to set me on fire with words. The right words give me the right things to focus on. So much negativity these days that I need words constantly to erode whatever lies I try to feed myself.
I listen to motivational, self-purpose and educational podcasts. I like them because they hold the truth and no matter what people say about public speakers, my spirit acknowledges the truth when it comes.
I listen to these podcasts because, truth be told, I feel like only these voices of strangers I’ve never met get through to me. I mean I listen to people around me but there’s something about hearing the voices of accomplished and successful people that just does things to you. I get goosebumps!
I start my day with words because it’s so easy to dream the impossible and see a breakdown of steps towards achieving these impossible things. I start my day with words because my brain functions like a machine. It takes words and turns them to vivid pictures.
So why I listen to the kind of podcasts I do? Because they are words that carry truths - brutal and painful enough to make me do what I gotta do.
