***Journalist for a Day (Morgana goes undercover)

I have a habit of saying “yes” to adventures. Then I have to deal with what I got myself into… Last week I said yes to being a “jou alist” at a super-exclusive conference in Los Angeles, where I was invited to interview some of the most outrageously successful innovators on the planet–people on the forefront of technology, banking, social media–people who “hang out” with Mark Zuckerberg, Barak Obama and Bill Gates.

At some point in our lives, we are all gripped with a crippling fear. Some will not admit it, but most people will. This crippling fear is that of failure. This fear is so appalling that it stops the majority of people from even taking the beginning step. They make comments like, 'What if I start a business and make a loss? What if I follow my passion of sports and fail? What if I up skill myself miss out when applying for the higher position that has come available in my company?

***If You Expect to Hear What You Are Saying, They Must Be Able to 'Hear' You Saying It!

Nothing is more frustrating than not hearing the person who is speaking. The problem for the soft-spoken, however, is that they do no recognize this problem for what it is. If you are soft-spoken, the reason you are being interrupted or talked over is because others tire of straining to hear you. Unfortunately, this can lead you to believe that what you are saying is not important or of no consequence. Nothing could be further from the truth. - If others cannot hear you, then it matters little if what you are saying has value or not.

In order to keep both your mind and body in good condition, you must give them enough food for their necessities. Starving yourself is not the right path for a healthy mind in a healthy body.

When you give out of your pure desire to give and you expect nothing in return, AND you do this only to benefit others, then you’re practicing random acts of kindness.

I saw this in college when I worked in a factory. The way to make money was to work overtime, sometimes LOTS of overtime, so you could have the things you wanted. If you were white collar the solution was to work a second (or third) job to get what you wanted. Then, of course, there is the usual working late at the office to please the boss in hopes of someday getting that promotion.
