What an awesome community we have here, if you'd agree with me.
There is always an instant lesson in the power of connection, which is the power of attention to foster connection and communication.
The simple act of paying attention is the key to connection, connecting to others and connection to the possibility of transforming our relationship with the community.
In this space lies our freedom and power to choose our response and in our response to each other, maybe through the comments or contributions lies our growth and freedom.
I will like to explain Attention as an incredibly powerful force, it allows us to recognize what's going on around us and what we do with it.
Sometimes something has our attention in every moment, it could be an interesting topic, could be an impactful topic, or something that allows everyone to really arrive and be present and also connect.
How paying attention promotes connection between people
We are not so lucky all the time, many of us make demands on other people and expect them to respond immediately without any consideration, we do it all the time and it leads to disengagement.
Just like when you send a post out to the community and you're sharing something that you're really passionate about or really concerned about and they pay total attention to every detail to the point where you can feel the love and care coming off of them.
"How does that feel?" It feels good doesn't it.
"Why does it feel good?"

Because they're paying attention to you, you feel connected and feel the need to transfer the energy coming from the response, if that doesn't make you happy it certainly does to me.
When we give full attention and when we receive someone's attention we feel connected and the opposite is equally true. Paying attention deepens our experience of connection with others. To name a few just like when @Jane @Eybyoung @HappyBoy @QueenRay @Ruffa @JonicaBradley post something new, it ripples out and effect the community positively and from paying full attention to them we acquire knowledge.
An illustration is when a news is up about something, everyone is eager to know the new update, our thinking is re-defined towards what was announced in that news and if at all we dont follow the update we talk to ourselves about it.
We can recognize that everything is connected, we can recognize the full effects of our actions and we can discover effective ways for doing things differently.
Doing things differently on this platform is not always about what we post it's also about the way we work together and pay attention to whatsoever it is that would mean a lot to us.
Community connection is love and it brings happiness and expansion,
we dont need to confine ourselves to just one person, or group there are several persons to learn and focus on.
If we can really pay attention to each other and cultivate a culture of deep connection it is very powerful.
Realization of the effects of transformation by paying attention to that space and connection to others and the possibility of relationship transformation around the Readcash community.
I was always bad at paying attention, so many have I missed out on what would have been so important to me, but then again it is a mindset that can change the course of our living and for the betterment of ourselves. Our attention is limited most times that we wouldn't see something good right in front of us, even in our lives.
I've made a lot of good friends here and I make sure i go through every new article before the day is up. Not just to the people I am subscribed too but most of what I see on the homepage, most of it all I gain so much everyday.
Thank you for your time

I really liked this article and its call to action. Several ideas I have taken and hope to put into practice. I have been publishing since September but not regularly, I think that lack of consistency is what has made my publications still not seen by many. Although I don't want my writing to be bad. But if they don't read them and give me their interaction, how can I improve?
My daily activities and the time I spend in Noise, does not let me be around much. As you do to perform in both.
I will pay much more attention.
