How to Get Connected to Anyone
Where your intention and focus go… so goes your connection
One profound learning I took from him [Steve Jobs] is that we don’t have to accept the world we are born into as something that is fixed and impermeable. When you zoom in it is just atoms like us and they move all the time. And through energy and force of will and intention and focus, we can actually change it. Move it. ~Lauren Powell Jobs
For many people, this concept is mind-boggling, so much so that it’s easier to ignore than face its consequences.
I find talking about it is the easiest way to clear out a crowded room.
Rather than contemplate it, most people prefer to think of this scientific fact as some form of new-age fantasy.
When we ignore it, however, our lives can stumble along chaotically and we feel out of control. We become just one grouping of atoms bumping into other groupings in a purposeless fashion.
But what if we decide we don’t want to drift through life like tumbleweed being blown across a cosmic wasteland?
What if we make the effort to direct our will and intention and focus on the atoms that make up everything we perceive?
