In order to connect the dots you have to present to yourself a large amount of data. Also needed is curiosity, the thirst for growth and experience. You have to read, you have to be capable of critical thinking, and you have to be adaptable - let go of all attachments. The ability to see the whole of a picture in my opinion is of necessity in this age in order to cross into the next. We have enough people whittling through life - taking the whole they are given and shaving it down to suit their personal wants and desires. Most people really only care about what directly affects them and their everyday life. However, there is a need for those who can and want to shape the entirety for all. Steve Jobs once said “You cant connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.” Historically speaking, the dots of the past have created a picture that is this present day. We say history repeats itself, though look at it from this perspective - history is but a story - it repeats not identically but as fractals, and always has. So we should not concern ourselves with the modern understanding of how history repeats - The dots and lines of a picture are not usually symmetrical. Therefore, basing your future intentions off pattern is not always going to be a recipe for success, it is however a recipe of mere surviving, until it isnt. To separate yourself from the blind men and the elephant is to study, to communicate, to see the whole and then understand that truths are the pivotal dots of the picture. How you execute an existence based on these truths is how you shape the future.
