CONNECTIONS
is inspired from Dr.
William Glassers Choice Theory®, as
described in his book, Choice Theory®, A New Psychology
of Personal Freedom. This
theory teaches that the only person that you can control is
yourself and the only thing about yourself that you can control
is your thinking and acting behavior. This is the source of
personal freedom.
If
everyone would concentrate on controlling themselves and not
other people then the world would be a better place. Once you
realize that you have no control over other people, you can
dispense with distractions and guilt resulting from trying to
control others. This frees you mentally and lets you focus on
your goals in life.
However,
people have a need to obtain close relationships. Why? According
to Glasser, people are genetically driven by five basic needs:
Love and belonging; power; freedom; fun, and survival. Everyone
has a mental picture of one or more of these needs, and in order
to achieve these needs, people must develop positive relationships.
Without
realizing it, most people use what Glasser calls external
control psychology, or disconnecting habits. Traits
of these habits include forcing, punishing, bribery, complaining
and more. These are understandably destructive to relationships.
However,
according to Glasser, it is the internal control psychology,
or connecting habits, that will determine a persons success
at developing the necessary relationships to achieve one or
more of the five basic needs. Connecting habits include respecting,
trusting, listening, accepting, supporting, encouraging and
more.
A
persons life is directly linked to successfully connecting
to other people. CONNECTIONS is a fun and entertaining
game that reveals the way players use Connecting
or Disconnecting habits to achieve goals.
CONNECTIONS
teaches the art of using connecting habits through a point system.
To win the game, the player must accumulate 1,000 points. To
win in life, one must build positive relationships to achieve
one or more of the five basic needs. Play CONNECTIONS.
Enable your life. Achieve your goals.
