Did you know that not staying in contact with friends is actually one of the Top 5 regrets people have on their death bed? It\u00b4s true. Bronnie Ware wrote a book about it. (Top 5 Regrets of the Dying) She was a nurse who attended to people who knew they were going to die soon. In that moment of clarity, when priorities are suddenly very clear, the value of true relationships showed itself in the many conversations she had. We tend to forget that value in the wane of every day life. We send a \u00b4HBD\u00b4 (yes, a full 3 letters!) Facebook message to our friends. Or when friends are having a hard time, we send them an extra whatsapp and already feel good about ourselves for having shown extra interest. One of the times that the superficiality of most friends hits you, is when you need help. \u00cdn times of trouble you find out who your friends really are\u00b4 People have never been so connected\u2026..and yet so lonely. Breaking through all the clutter will not be easy. Technological advances and Social Media have made our lives easier. It will take discipline and dedication. It will take time and focus on your priorities. You will have to take a stand. But it will be worth it. One of the best ways for me to connect on a deeper level with my friends is actual Facetime. I\u00b4m obviously not talking about the Facebook product here. No, actually spending time together. Mobile phones away. Doing stuff, working out, exploring, learning, experiencing new adventures. Looking into each others eyes. Adding to the memories database, in stead of reliving old memories. The best opportunity for this is being away from the daily distractions and time lines. You know how it goes. As soon as you are home or in another \u00b4usual\u00b4 location the pattern repeats itself again and again. Check Facebook, check Insta, check LinkedIn, check Email, check Twitter, check Snapchat, check Facebook again. Watch Netflix from the corner of your eye.\u00a0 Ever tried a \u00b4Technology Free Saturday\u00b4 with your family while staying home? :-) Funny, right?\u00a0 Break this pattern. Get away from it all. Book a vacation. Go outside and live life. Breath fresh air. Make good memories and stories. A great way of showing how much your friends mean to you is going on a vacation together.\u00a0 You will grow your connection. There is no substitute for spending quality time together. And you will actually have something nice to post on Social Media when you get home!"}
