CoT:  Don’t Take Things for Granted

  • In F3 we learn of the concept called the Concentrica. This concept is built like a bull’s eye teaching us that the most important relationship in your life should be at the middle of that bulls eye & you should be attempting to shoot as many of your arrows towards those inner circles.  At the middle of my Concentrica is my Wife, the most important relationship in my life.  Tomorrow my wife & I will celebrate our 18-year anniversary.  I am proud to say that we are a couple who rarely fights, believe in the same values, have the same vision for raising our kids, & generally have a great relationship.  Last year I talked about how I was not proud of where my arrows in my quiver take more aim at some of those outer circles on of my Concentrica particularly with Mammon (work) & our 2.0’s.  While the 2.0’s are extremely important just b/c you are doing family activities does not necessarily mean you are strengthening that relationship with your wife/significant other.  In Q1 of 2022 had a goal to read the “5 Love Languages” together with my wife but I constantly kept pushing it off b/c I did not prioritize or I set some dating goals only to find myself dating my kids more than my wife.  I refocused this year & my wife have really been connecting by reading the “5 Love Languages” & doing more day dates like we are doing Monday.  My challenge to all of you is to do some reflection on the “m” in your life.  While you may be doing things together are you truly being intentional about that relationship.  If not then put together a plan to be more intentional.  AYE!!
