Social Reconstruction

In an age where technology is king I feel people are losing the ability physically connect with others. Now, don't get me wrong this is a blog and an attempt to connect with you on a technology based level. However, it is also my challenge for our generation. I made a personal goal for myself a few years ago to make sure that every day I make at least one new contact. Also, let me specify this doesn't mean a new follower on twitter, a new contact on LinkedIn or a new friend on Facebook. It means an actual face to face conversation with another person and often times a shake of the hand saying "nice to meet you". I understand a lot of you don't have a job like mine that entitles you to meeting a lot of new people on a daily basis. But, I challenge you to at least twice a week make small talk with someone whether it be, standing in line at the store or just randomly to someone new at work. Go out and make some real connections with real people! You have no idea the amazing stories you'll hear and great people you'll meet!

Counting steps..

   Many times a day I think about all the times in my history that I have went right instead of left and vise versa.  I wonder what the next step would have been had I taken the other route? After finally realizing the past turns I have made can not be retraced and can not be made over, I can focus on the paths currently laying in front of me.  

   Focus on the future and your legacy is the best advice I could ever give someone.  The only question I now have is how to approach that future?  I don't see satisfaction in counting my steps and plotting out the route I should take.  I feel like the most gratifying way of approaching the future may not be on a linear path after all. Could it be that the more vertical the way the better it feels? Instead of counting out the steps to the future I think I need to simply find a goal and leap! "Greater risk, greater reward" is the only fear that is holding me back because along with that statement comes "greater chance of failure" and that is something none of us like to hear.  Although the path to success is never an easy choice.
