Connections are Essential

There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul. ~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

The people you surround yourself with show your character and the way you want other people to view you as.  The connections you create with people, whether it be in personal relationships, business aspects, school or even family connections are what shows you and others what you value the most. Creating meaningful connections with others is an essential key component that most everyone should develop in life.  It can give you advantages in potential opportunities you might reach or even develop yourself, to exude what others around you are doing, good or bad. On Inc.com they had an article that specifically addressed the way to help people make connections within a business setting titled, "8 Tricks to Make Connections That Will Pay Off" and those tricks are...

1. Figure out who matters the most.

2. Pick your next tier.

3. Find easy ways to engage with everyone else.

4. If you want to connect with someone, find a way to help them.

5. Be intriguing.

6. Think people, not positions.

7. Give before you ask.

8. Be generous.

What I am trying to get across is, that if you truly want to gain the full potential you can reach within yourself, you will learn to engage and make those essential connections with people you may not even know is important. You may not know the opportunity that awaits until it is introduced in your life, so go searching and don't give up on making those important connections!
