As people, what’s our connection?

If you’re familiar with the six degrees of separation idea then you know that all people are six, or fewer, social connections away from each other. And if it’s true, then we really are all connected in this life experience together.

What I’ve discovered is that almost everyone is looking for a way to feel connected. Even though they may not outwardly express it, once you spend some time with a person and really listen, you’ll hear it in their voice and words.

As people we almost all want the feeling of being seen and heard, however, in today’s go go world it’s often difficult to connect with ourselves let alone others. This constant going and lack of connection gives us all a feeling of emptiness, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

Creating space in your life for connection with others is probably one of the most important things you can do for yourself and for those around you. Real connection has the power to help and heal, to create a bond that can endure for a lifetime.

Ultimately, if we really are all connected then it serves our own best interest to ensure that the ecosystem we’re a part of is as healthy as possible, if for nothing else than our own survival.

So invest some time today in deepening your connection with those around you, and if the opportunity presents itself, make some new connections today. Do it for them, and do it for you too. Let’s all work together to fill the void within us.
