Networking. . .

So. . . I've always hated the term networking, I"ll be honest.  And still I don't love it.  I think that networking can be something negative when all it is, is networking.  But when you can build relationships, and put in effort to help others, I think networking can be an extremely positive thing.

Effective networking really isn't about connecting yourself to as many people as you can,
It's more about building personal relationship with all kinds of people,
and doing what you can do help them.

   Networking in this sense is positive. It is unselfish.  And it's FUN! :)

As each of us realize our potential to help and lift those around us, we can find the courage we need to step out of our comfort zones and make a difference.  As we reach out farther than we're use to reaching, the Lord will be able to extend his arm, through us, and we can touch the lives of others with his love. We should make networking about getting to know people,  and helping them find the place that is best for them, and I believe that we will be blessed as we strive to bless others in our network.
