At the heart of making the most of life today is the ability to treasure and protect your connections to what you care most about: people, places, activities, pets… But you must not have too many connections or none will flourish.

…only by selecting with care to what and to whom you want to give your precious time, attention, and energy will you be able to maintain a positive emotional state and do your best.

Don’t get too busy to care for yourself. This may seem obvious, but millions of hardworking, smart people neglect basic issues of self-care.

Shared consciousness is a carefully maintained set of centralized forums for bringing people together.
