Be the 3rd: Communicating the Way God Intended

Part 3: Self Control: The Three Key Components to Successful Relationships


Listen Later

If we want to have to have deeper more meaninful relationships we need to start thinking more about our Self's and less about our relationship partner.

This goes against everything we know about relationships and is 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, and they all require that we focus quite a bit of time thinking about these three aspects of ourselves.

Self-Awareness

Self-Control

Self-Esteem

Once we start to focus and understand these three components of self, not only will our relationships with each other deepen and strengthen but so will our relationship with God.

This is part three in the series of Key Components to Successful Relationships. If you missed the first two you can find them here: S1Ep9, S1Ep10.
