Life Is Always About Connections
Author: siggyLife is always about connections: the relationships you make and maintain. You should never neglect your mate but there is always a danger your relationship will become stale. Sometimes a simple thing like leaving the house and doing a chore is good. You find out others have problems and you are not alone. People have a way of expressing their present concerns. Sometimes it is a question of eavesdropping. You are just there. Like shopping in a food aisle. Other times, you may want to reach out in some way. Each person has a deep need to be listened to. You just may be that person but you have to make yourself available. No one lives in a vacuum. Sometimes you have to take a chance–open up to someone. There is no such thing as small talk. Yes, it is true it may stay there but often it is an opening for you to take.
It is just not good to stay in the house all the time. Our thoughts just revolve. And we need to break the cycle. Sometimes it means taking chances with perfect strangers. You never know when you will meet an angel. And furthermore how can you possibly make new friends if you do not take a chance by revealing something personal about you? Each friend you have was once a stranger. Never stop reaching out. Life is about relationships. In John Dunn’s words, ‘No man is an island’. We don’t exist by ourselves. We are all connected. Each person has a deep need to love and be loved.
