As an Attention Connection™ Specialist (see reference below) , I use all
kinds of processes and technology to stay connected. I admit, I am connection junkie… I network and stay connected through personal meetings, phone calls, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, email, text messages, voice-mail, automated drip systems, databases, websites… oh my, this is hyper connectivity.
Who am I connected to? That list is even longer and relevant only to me as you really don’t care. Clients, friends, classmates, colleagues, advisers, vendors, thought leaders, etc… all types really. But now I ask, through all this connection, are we grounded in our connection with the higher power? Are we connected to our inner being? Our family?
I don’t care what your belief systems is, we all need to keep balance in our lives. Are we connected on a spiritual level? There is a greater power in the universe and we need to connect with it daily.
No matter what new technologies come along to aid us in connecting, we need to revert each day to that quiet place where we can make the most important connection. I am not aware of any technology that will ever aid us in this connection. Each of us needs to make time for this connection.
Some call it prayer (I am in that crowd), others meditate, some ponder, some chant. Regardless of the “low tech” method of connection, we all need to make time for a higher connection. This connection clears your mind and reconnects you with the important things in this life.
I bark and wolf to anyone who will listen about Attention Connection and where our attention lies, does our time and resources. Make sure you MAKE time for important connections that really matter.
