Lately I have been experiencing some very trying times within my family. And not with just one or two members. Imagine how low my self-confidence is and how high my self-doubt is. From deductive reasoning one may come to the conclusion that since I am the common denominator for all of these tiffs, I am therefore the problem. But I am going to insist that I’m a lover not a fighter.
Before I jump right in, I wanted to explain that Connection (Last One, Part 4) is not a culmination of Connection (Part 1), Connectors (Part 2) and Connection (Part 3). All three posts are individually exclusive of each other so you can enjoy any one of them at any time without having to read them in consecutive order or not read any of them at all. You can just start right here.
Social media keeps us connected to friends, family and acquaintances from all parts of the world. It is fascinating to have this connection right at our very own finger tips. Remember when writing letters was the only way to reach people? Then everything evolved: telegraphs, the telephone, morse code on the radio, email, fax machines, pagers, cell phones and now here we are, socially connected. If we need to get in touch with someone, the only struggle we may encounter is a bad wifi connection. Other than that, it’s amazing how quickly we can connect to someone.
So there is connection and then there are connectors. Two totally separate nouns that I’m writing about in my “Connection” blog post series. What would the discussion about connections be without connectors? Connectors are instrumental in putting us on paths that ultimately change our lives. For the sake of thoughtfulness and the awareness of silver linings, the connectors that I am referring to in this post are for those who change our lives for the better, not worse.
