What if I said that if you want to have deeper more meaningful relationships you need to start thinking more about yourself and less about your relationship partner?
Not only does this go against everything you've ever heard, but it is also in direct contradiction to our theme here at Be the 3rd.
Yet, there are three key components of our communication process that never get the attention that they need.
Self awareness
Self control
Self esteem
Once we start to focus and understand these three components not only will our relationships with each other deepen and strengthen but so will our relationship with God.
Focusing more of our own time on understanding these three selfs ouselves, means others don't have to spend so much time focused on doing it for us.
