Yet there&#8217;s so much more you can accomplish when you&#8217;re connected with other people, places, concepts, and forces in the world around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s physical, emotional, intellectual, through finance or technology or countless other means, connection has great value. Consider all the connections you have, and the many more that are possible for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You benefit from connections to ideas, people, places, facts, processes, and so much more. The more richly connected you are, the more richness you have in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best connections require effort, discipline, time and resources. Yet as difficult as they may be to initiate and maintain, good, solid, honest connections bring great benefit to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do the work to discover and develop new connections. Offer your time and energy to sustain, expand, and re-invigorate all the good connections you&#8217;ve already made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ability to connect is one of your most valuable abilities. Find and establish those good connections that make your actions more effective and your experiences more fulfilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212; Ralph Marston<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good connections+++++++++++++++++++ There are some things you can do well in isolation.
