What are your irrational fears?
Submitted by Dan Culhane.
Fear of failure. I don't know why but I guess it is a common fear. We all don't like to fail. All of us have this need to succeed. But, unfortunately, humans that we are, we make mistakes, we miscalculate, we fail.
I remember an old saying that goes, it doesn't matter how many times you fall but the times you get back up.
We must not let failure stop us from reaching new heights. Only the fearful lose. Winners take risks and aren't afraid to fail.

The most difficult time in one's life is when some un-expected event happens. The irony is, they do happen! I was a skeptic against insurance plans. Its not, for a struggling contract worker like myself, easy to shell out certain amount of money every month to pay the premium. That is the reason why although I have been working for more than a decade in the Middle East, I didn't really got serioius about taking any insurance plan. Besides, my company covers my health and life insurance. Until my sister got involved in one of the major insurance companies in Asia and Europe. She convinced me to take a plan, one that pays back the money I paid + earnings at a certain time, if I don’t die. Sounds too good to be true, but real. At 41, I really can't say if I'd still be able to work one year, 5 years or ten years from now, or would I still be employed or be employable. It the little surprises, some that takes shorter than a minute that could turn my life around, to whichever direction possible. Finally, I ended up taking a whole package, of health and life insurance together with the pay-back plan. Just so my family would be in a better financial position in the event something happens to me, now, tomorrow or who knows….. I may enjoy a cruise in the Bahamas after a I retire…..we never can tell.

You must have woken up with socks on your feet to keep you warm at night.
Get a nice warm bath. Hot tea and a local breakfast called "champorado" (oats or sticky rice with chocolate and sugar).
Put on some nice warm clothes, like sweatshirt on top of your day clothes..... and try to do as much physical activities as possible..
