From Within to Unfolding Connection

Connect with yourself in order to connect with others.

Many of us struggle to connect with those around us. We often don’t know what to talk about, and when we do find a topic, the conversation feels dull or forced because we try so hard to please.

In those moments, we realize that our focus is on finding the “right” questions or answers to spark interest in the other person. Yet, how can we know what truly interests them? We shoot in multiple directions and hope for the best.

We lose ourselves in the process, and that is even worse. We feel tired and frustrated, having invested so much energy without achieving the connection we wanted. We now have to rest and reset so we can begin again.

What if there is another way to connect with others, and perhaps that way is to first connect with ourselves? Our focus would then be to show up in the world from a place of being grounded in our own being. And the outcome? Simply for it to just unfold and be.
