“We were born to unite with our fellow men, and to join in community with the human race.”
When Roman philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero uttered these words over 2000 years ago, he was obviously referring to the deep desire that human beings are born with – the desire to be part of a group of people who share similar beliefs, values, attitudes and needs; the desire to be part of a community; the desire to bond; the desire to belong!
Psychologists, sociologists, and anthropologists have now affirmed that “community” and “belonging” are deeply intertwined. This is because being part of a community makes one feel connected, accepted and valued.
Last week I experienced this sense of belonging when I was invited to include my blog content on LeadershipDigital. Being part of a community of incredible bloggers sure makes me feel connected, accepted and valued.
