Who will share your life this year? Research has shown that how you answer that question will impact your well-being more than any other factor–even income, where you live, or your life circumstances.
So choose wisely when it comes to the people you surround yourself with in 2014.And there’s a certain kind of relationship you can be looking for more than any other. I’ve nicknamed them “O.A.R.s” and that stands for One Another Relationships. Picture someone sitting in a boat with an oar in each hand. In order for the boat to move forward, those oars need to be in sync and pulling in the same direction. Each person in a relationship is like one of those oars and God is in the middle–the center of the connection.
O.A.R. relationships are about…
Encouragement
Support
Cheering Each Other On
Being there in the Hard Times Too
And, most of all, LOVE {John 13:34}
No relationship is perfect but we can all be purposeful this year about who we join with in the journey of our life. And that can make all the difference. Who helps you move forward in God’s purposes and plans for your life? Who can you help do the same? {One easy way to do so is to be part of the Coffee for Your Heart: 2014 Encouragement Challenge that starts next Wednesday.}
Praying God brings your heart just who you need this year…

p.s. Life coaching is also an O.A.R. relationship and I’ve got limited spots open for 2014.
