Human Connection Game




Every once in a while life brings us gifts of the utmost importance. If we are paying attention, these gifts will bring us more of what we want than we can imagine. Even with all the distractions we have in our lives: technology, work, jobs, bills, survival, successes, failures; it's easy to take life so seriously isn't it? In the end it is still about connecting with people.

Everything Happens Through People

If there is one thing I have learned in my journey is that everything happens through people. Every fantastic memory I have is tied to another person in some way. If I had the experience alone, the memory is tied to me sharing that experience with another person.

For all of us, whether it is about simply having a friend or family member to rely on, or on the other extreme that new career position you have been waiting for, I can guarantee a person brought you whatever it was you were looking for. The irony of life is even people we "don't like" will bring us stuff if we are paying attention.

I happen to be fortunate enough to have recently met a group of people I DO like very much. I met a group of entrepreneurs who are committed to getting the very best out of life. A few of them have even started blog posts just like this one. Like my buddy Matt Scriven who's blog can be found here and Jason Roe who's blog can be found here

These are people who are committed to an extraordinary life like I am and I know we were brought together for a reason. There are no coincidences. As time goes on I know I will continue to rely on them. And they will rely on me.

Realize this is just one more ingredient to truly living a life of freedom

The truth is, dear friend, that your real life's purpose is whatever you decide it is. Renew gratitude for what you have in your life. Take 4 seconds right now and think of one thing in your life you are grateful for. Everyday is another chance to remind yourself you are only 4 seconds to freedom! Because freedom is a state of mind. Start now!
