Source: The Paradox of ConnectionWe have the ability to connect with more and more people around the world, but our emotions are undermining our ability to make deeper and more fulfilling connections that can help all of us to achieve more of our potential.
There’s a vicious cycle underway that continues to erode our ability to make connections that matter – the more fear we feel, the less likely we are to trust others and that leads to a growing sense of isolation which in turn feeds the fear, leading to even less trust and the cycle continues.
While this emotion is understandable, it’s preventing us from harnessing the potential that’s created by the ability to connect with others more broadly and more deeply.
We need to embrace opportunity-based narratives and the passion of the explorer to turn this around and, for the first time, discover the enormous power that comes from broader and deeper connections.
