The power of connections

Yesterday I had dinner with my uncle and we were suppose to talk about marketing since I am going to be assisting him in that department in his medical office, but instead we talked about me. He wanted to know what was my reality today, this instance, based on the circumstance surrounding me. So I did - I talked and talked and talked and let my emotions out. All he did was listen, he only gave advice when he felt it was needed:
Life is all about people and the connections you create with them. To ensure that every person you come in contact with you uplift them and make them feel good about themselves. In turn, that will make you feel good about yourself.

Wow! How do you do that, how unselfish is that. He didn't have to care, he could've just went on talking about his marketing needs. Instead he made me feel good and inspired me to do the same in my relationships. At the end of it all he finishes by telling:
That is marketing, it starts from within and if I touch and uplift each patient that walks through my door then my marketing in done.

I don't think I have been that inspired and that moved in a long time.

How I plan to apply that in my life; is to be and live the change I aspire others to be day in and day out. Let the uplifting begin!

  1. It's about the creation and transfer of energy... which, as a dancer , you understand very well. People pick up on "vibes" and intent, body language.
    Relationships and connections are not just "who you know/who knows you. It's about following through, sincerity, walking a day in someone else's shoes who may have it rougher than you do. What is THEIR reality? You have to give(first) to get. How do you give Angel?

  2. Well "Anonymous @ 7:32pm" How right you are, and as you can see in my post I don't say anything about "who you know or who knows you" is bout what you choose to do with those that know you and you know. How you choose to relate to them - yes, with sincerity. One thing about me and those that have been in my life know about me, is that I put others needs before mine - especially with those who are closest to me. I have always thought of them first. But as I grow and evolve and do my research, I am realizing that it is perfectly fine to sometimes say to oneself: What do I need? How am I doing? One must learn to fulfill oneself before they can fulfill another and I am learning that the hard way. My advise to you is know thyself and know others well before you speak of them.

  3. One last thing...some people, because of their reality, are unable to give because they weren't taught how - all they know is receive.
