Najoli Nugget | Better Life Every Day | Book Review | Quotes Najoli Nugget The Decade of Connectedness By Herman Jumba Najoli, MA This has been the decade of social networking - myspace, facebook, you-tube and many other media created avenues through which people interacted at many levels. My vision for the coming decade is that there will be even greater connectedness. Connectedness should therefore govern our thinking and actions in every aspect of our lives. Connectedness is the state of being joined, linked or fastened together. In mathematics, connectedness refers to various properties meaning, in some sense, “all one piece”. As we step into a new year and advance closer into a new decade, our vision should be to bring all the dimensions of our lives into one coherent piece. Connectedness brings order and synergy to the people, things or events that are associated together in that relationship. Connectedness entails new thinking in terms of relatedness and relationships which will be the springboard for the advancement of greatness in people. In this edition of BLOOM, I’d like to share with you some pre-determined key result areas for connectedness. Key Result Areas for Connectedness 1. Connectedness to true spiritual roots Spirit is essential in the pursuit of a better life. Our souls should prosper as we endeavor to help others develop their personal potential. Our first quest in connectedness will be a solid relationship with God. It will be essential to have a commitment to faith. The winds of social change are blowing in all sorts of directions and it will be impossible to navigate them without a solid connectedness to true spiritual roots. Our entire intelligence, consciousness and sentience must be inspired by our spiritual development. This will be the key to vibrant and effective living.

2. Connectedness to one another and to family In December of 2003, my wife and I created what we call our nuptial values. These values were an off-shoot of our marriage vision statement. While we have encountered tremendous success based on this vision, we sense a need for even deeper connection in 2010 and beyond. Human connection will need to go beyond online chat rooms and blogs to real community. Community starts with an individual and extends to the family, then to society. Connectedness to society will be discussed later under the idea of connectedness to people who matter. 2010 will be the year of one-on-one connection and investing time with family.
