Are We Neglecting Ourselves When We Connect?

Why do we spend so much time trying to connect?

Because we are social animals.  Neurologists say that man’s brain probably advanced in the last 100,000 years because of his sociability.

His desire to connect and communicate in building a social order helped advance the mechanisms in his brain that separated him from the animal world.

Man has the capability to go beyond basic instincts into the world of feeling, empathy, rational, and creative thought.  The mind/brain symphony can both regulate our life functions and connect with feelings of the super natural.

We can perform work to stay alive, create artistic expression, and feel love for ourselves, our fellow man, and our opportunity to be here.

We have the capability for unlimited gratitude.  The more gratitude we have, the more connected we are to the entire system of which we are apart.

Why in all of our effort to connect with others don’t we spend more time connecting with ourselves?

We as individuals are actually more fascinating than anything in the material world because we are a mechanism of the entire system of life.

We hold more answers within our own persons than we will ever find searching the outer world.  Our inner person is the source of happiness. It doesn’t require us purchase a single item or achieve a single goal. Within our deeper recesses, we are all accepting and above judgment.

Our inner self is not impressed with fame, fortune, shoes, cars, hair, muscles, clothes, or houses.  Our inner self can give us the balance to make real connections with the people with whom we are connecting.
