Social media has change the way we communicate. We don’t consider when we post something, it is really one way communication. We don’t consider that we have become our own media outlet, much like a newspaper or TV news show. We are all broadcasters now.
But broadcasters are not the same as communicators. True communication is two-way. We speak and listen.
Blogging, tweeting and Facebook posts are fine. But we need to remember true communication is a different entity.
It’s fun to be in charge. Everyone loves the perks that come with leadership. But with each leadership position, there comes responsibility.
A king that that loves to rule, but takes responsibility for nothing makes for a lousy ruler.
If you want to be in charge, What responsibilities are you willing to take on? The larger the role, the more you will be accountable for.
Charisma and seniority only takes a leader so far.
What you feed your mind will affect your output. The news cycle can be scary. Cable news has only made it worse.
It’s true we need to be informed to some degree. But a little goes a long way. If you feel the news is making you anxious or sad. Consider giving yourself a break. Continuous coverage of the latest tragedy can overwhelm anyone.
We’re all scared to do something. The fear of starting is often more terrifying than the action we dread. We spend too much time fretting whether we can do it right than actually doing the work.

Carolyn Nicole had a nice post on why a digital journal has its advantages over a traditional paper journal.
I liked her point that a digital journal is always with you. For me, that also means I can search and read a digital entry whether at work, home or on the road. I love my paper journals, but also love combining the two.
Day One is my go to app for journaling. By all means, give it a try and see what you think about digital journaling.
