Teams365 #2704 - Quotes around connection

5/26/2021

This week we are focusing on quotes around connection. Connection is essential in the remote space. Here is a handful of great quotes to get your thinking moving. I will be diving into this with my next book which will be released in the next few weeks. Check it out here - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0993791557

The need for connection and community is primal, as fundamental as the need for air, water, and food. Dean Ornish

“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.” ― Herman Melville

“Invisible threads are the strongest ties.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”
― Brené Brown

"Our lives disconnect and reconnect, we move on, and later we may again touch one another, again bounce away. This is the felt shape of a human life, neither simply linear nor wholly disjunctive nor endlessly bifurcating, but rather this bouncey-castle sequence of bumpings-into and tumblings-apart."
— Salman Rushdie (The Ground Beneath Her Feet)

"Go for a walk outdoors. Reconnect with the feeling of the wind blowing through your hair. Listen to the birds that live in a tree in your yard. Watch the sunset. Take time to smell the flowers that bloom in the park during the summer. The natural world is just as natural as it ever was, except there's less of it than there was twenty-five years ago - and most of us don't make a point of enjoying it often enough."
— Skye Alexander (The Modern Guide to Witchcraft: Your Complete Guide to Witches, Covens, and Spells)

Connecting to another is one of the most important things in the world and you can keep expanding that connection - one person, a family, a community, a country, a society, a culture. - Eric Fischl

The business of business is relationships; the business of life is human connection. -Robin S. Sharma

Social connection is such a basic feature of human experience that when we are deprived of it, we suffer.

Enjoy your reflections!

Teams365 #2697 - Quotes around renewal

5/19/2021

In Canada and the US, we will be moving to long weekends in the next few weeks. Here in Canada, the May 24 weekend is usually referred to as the start of summer. It’s also an important time to renew and recharge with family.

With that in mind, and given we all need time to renew, here are 10 of my favorite quotes around renewal:

“We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come.” --Joseph Campbell

“We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise, we harden.” —Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“Lighten up on yourself. No one is perfect. Gently accept your humanness.” – Deborah Day

“Your brain is like a computer, you have to refresh or it’s going to crash. I don’t [care] how great you are, you have to take a second.” – Missy Elliot

“Our soul is like a soft and gentle flower, it needs to be nurtured, cared for, tended to, with sufficient sunlight, fresh air and freedom to bloom into its most precious and beautiful form. This, my friend, is self-love.”― Miya Yamanouchi

“When you say ‘yes’ to others make sure you are not saying ‘no’ to yourself.” — Paulo Coelho

What’s important to note about renewal for you?

Enjoy your reflections!
