Quality Over Quantity

Life is about connections - the people we meet and their impact on our lives. People can have several or few connections and still find the same level of happiness as the next person. In this area, I believe the saying, "quality, not quantity" definitely applies. Experience shows that having a large collection of continuous connections returns benefits, as well as limitations; the same goes for having fewer connections. However, when quality is thrown into the measurement mix, perhaps quantity has little or no bearing. Instead, the revelation of deeper relations can be understood and enjoyed.

I have learned this through experience lately. Although many of my constant connections have suddenly disappeared, I have begun to more appropriately value those that remain - the ones that were true and unconditional. This life lesson has reminded me that sometimes we take for granted what is always there... lucky for me, the important connections remain mostly intact. Fortunate is this, for I am no where close to being alone. On the contrary, I feel much more connected than in the past, only lately the connections are equally fueled from both sides.

"Quality is not an act, it is a habit." -Aristotle 384 BC-322 BC
