Discombobulation

What's your brand? What's your style?  At what are you an expert?  The speed of life isn't slowing down in the world that surrounds us.  We are constantly bombarded by sound bites, 30 second news stories, 15 second commercials, brief opinions, and the ever increasing demands of doing more at our workplace. 

Has the world gone mad, or am I the only person that thinks that long gone are the experts in many fields?  We have non-versations (thanks to the person that coined that term) in texts and emails, many have forgotten the art of conversation (and listening), and we are all too focused on getting to the end without putting in the time to fully understand a situation.

This weekend's challenge...put down your phone, turn off your computer and go have a conversation with someone.  Share a drink, share a laugh, and reconnect with the human race.

It is in that connection where our humanity lies.  It is in that connection where you can open your heart and mind and share time just being human.
