Connect with Others!

If you have never read Randy Pausch's book, The Last Lecture, you really should. There is just so much to take from that book. In fact, I am looking forward to reading it again. One quote from it...

"WHEN WE'RE CONNECTED TO OTHERS, WE BECOME BETTER PEOPLE"

 Think about that one for a second.

When you're around others do you feel like you're a better person than when you spend a lot of time alone? I sure don't. When we are connected to others, we are involved in other peoples' lives. Now I don't mean connected by Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter... I mean we actually, physically meet in person with people, and have real conversations with them. We care more about others when we connect with them. This can be family, a group of friends, a study or bible group, a team, a volunteer program... when we have real connections with others, it makes us become better people... why? Because we become less focused on ourselves. Instead, we take an interest in others and helping others. In my eyes, that makes us better people. Don't you?
