Are we connecting?

Are we trying to do too much?

Most of us are trying to squeeze the best we can out of the time available to us and some of us are really good at it.

But most of the times we are rushing from one thing to another. While we are doing something we are already thinking about what to do next, whom to meet next, where to go next. In doing so we loose the connection between us and the things we do or people we are dealing with. As a result  although we end up doing lots of things, we are not there fully with anything or anyone. 

As there are more and more things available to us to choose from, we really need to choose carefully what we want to spend our time on. We need to ask " what can I do from the things available to me that I can connect with fully in the time available to me". If it is reading a book make sure you immerse yourself in it. If it is cooking make sure you are not facebooking or tweeting at the same  time and are connecting fully with what you are making. If it is playing with kids make sure you do it in  a way that makes kids feel you are one of them. If it is facebooking make sure you find interesting things and are not trying to do ten other things at the same time. 

When we do things by really connecting with them we make art, we make the whole experience worthwhile, we make new relationships, we strengthen existing relationships, we learn, we add value, we help, we give, we love, we introspect, we inspire, we find peace and most importantly we grow.
