There is very little in life, if anything more important than our relationships. How connected we feel to others is a strong predictor of our own happiness and our feelings of self-worth.

When you have this self-knowledge a lot of other things quickly fall into place. Whether you create a new habit of meditation or just a designated YOU time, by creating time to connect with the vision you have for yourself, you will gain clarity and begin to create real connections with the world outside. As you grow more connected with yourself and your environment, your own power and confidence will grow as a result and you will have the ability to connect with new people in a new profound ways, which meet your and in many way, their new needs. A strong connection is sometimes all we need, and in some cases, all we have, to keep us sane in this evolving world.
