Power to Connect

The idea of this blog came after spending 5-6 days just hearing about Sushant Singh Rajput and his death. How this has impacted other people? Seeing how even film fraternity also spoke things otherwise they would not. Something was there about this man that people are ready to say and other people are ready to listen to them. Forget about others, without going into nitty-gritty I have watched all his movies in the last 7 days and so many that I would not have seen total movies in this lockdown period.  It was not only the movie industry that was shaken, many people including the astronomy, science background, cricket fraternity, and maybe many more around the world have been paid their homage to his soul. In search of the why came this blog.

“Invisible threads are the strongest ties “ ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

 In a simple word, a man was standing with a very humble background multi-talented passionate person yet so grounded. His smile just comes across your heart. He had carved the niche in any area he felt he was passionate and was top of his game and skills with limited desires to deliver the right product. Maybe that’s why he was never insecure. And this is something many people have connected or have appreciated about him. People like me want to have half his talent.

Having said that, let us see how connecting with others is a powerful skill, and how some people connect with others easily?

Somewhere I read Human Connection is a powerful currency in the digital age. Even psychologist Maslow in his theory ‘hierarch of needs’ shows our need to belong is secondary only to our survival needs. Connecting with someone is different than talking with someone, we can talk to many people even though we don’t feel connected to the people on any worldly topic. A connection can happen without even talking that is the power of emotions and feel the goodwill of the person we are connecting to. A connection is not looking for the same interest because common things may not correlate to connecting also.

Do you find yourself people talking with you with ease and without being judged? Do you tend to understand other people for what they are not speaking but want to convey? Do friends whose value system matches your value system are the ones surrounding you? Do you listen to listen rather than to reply to people? If the answer to anyone of the above is yes, you are on the path of connecting or connecting with many.

I don’t want to give formula but would bring to you the “The Art of Storytelling “is the niche in today’s world because that gives other people to have a window to your thoughts and decide whether they want to relate or associate with you. So, in the world of all the façade, technology, and data most important thing, people are missing a genuine connection and want to be connected. If you can connect with people, you will not only able to connect and inspire people but also lead a fulfilling life of growth and become better in any area of life you want.
