In the mundane activities of our day to day existence, it is so easy to lose sight of the grand arc of our lives. However, when my first daughter was born, and I held that warm, writhing, bundle of human potential in my arms, something profound happened inside me.

 

My eyes were suddenly opened. I became intimately aware of a life as a bank account of time units—of seconds that make up minutes, hours, days, months, and years.

Our lives have a beginning and an ending—this was the first time unit in her life story. 

 

What if the remaining time units of her life were filled with meaningful activities towards her purpose?

What was her unique life story?

How could I help her to tell and live it well?

 

Those questions remained with me for a long time after that moment, prodding and provoking me to cultivate an intentional life for myself and my children that would allow us to do just that–live well.

What I have come to realize with an obsessive conviction is that to live well is to invest our best energies in building  meaningful relationships.

 

It begins with a clear understanding of the main protagonist in your life story —YOU!

 Developing an intimate relationship with the 

Giver of life — GOD

Making your relationship with God the foundation for how you 

relate to OTHERS.

 

The key to living well is found in caring for and cultivating these three relational spaces in our lives.

It is the doorway to next level living.

 

 Let’s embark on a journey to unlock that door together.
