One Often Overlooked Principle About How to Have Better Relationships with Donna Jones
We all have a “direction” we want a relationship to go. You know what I mean: maybe we’d like a relationship to head in the direction of more closeness, more authenticity, more respect, more honesty, or more fun, just a name a few. But how do we steer the relationship in that direction?
On today’s episode, I share a personal “aha” moment about the direction of our relationships. Recently I re-listened to a message I gave years ago on healthy families. As I listened, three simple words jarred me with their truth: Connection determines direction. This realization led me on a personal journey to evaluate the various relationships that make up my world–my family, friends, co-workers, and even my relationship with God. I found that our society generally promotes disconnection and isolation, which I wanted to challenge.
In today's episode, I share my personal insights and experiences on how to navigate this societal norm and foster more profound, more fulfilling relationships. I discuss how I'm intentionally enhancing my connections with the people in my life. Whether dedicating quality time to my husband or making a daily conscious effort to connect with God, the importance of prioritizing these connections cannot be overstated.
As you listen, I challenge you to evaluate your connections and consider how they influence your relationship's direction.
Xo,
Donna
