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.
Friendship is a complicated thing, especially when your friend is only around for a season. It can be hard when snowbird of a friend flies to Florida or Arizona. I have found myself in a role-reversal since my kids live in those states.
But distance shouldn’t separate friends like it once did, right? Technology and air travel makes it possible to bridge the gap that once seemed like a bottomless chasm. We can still have close friends that have moved far away. It’s also a good thing for our friends who enjoy the sub-zero temperatures like Mister Snowman.
Whether your friend is warm and bubbly, or cold and frigid, perhaps today is a good day to reach out and give them a call or text today.
