Connect when we connect and feel a strong sense of Belonging.
Care is about about our ability to care for our self and all that we are responsible for.
Create is a drive we have to make and do blossoms out of our need to learn and grow.
Contribute to strengthen our sense of Belonging we have a strong need to contribute to our tribe, our place of Belonging.
Context all this is done within the context we are within, our family, our society, the organisations and groups we send time within. Each context is likely to have varying requirements of us, rules to 'be' within the group. Our ability to adapt to this variation is an essential skill.
