Let's work backward

In the last post I used the word "relationship" in explaining things we have to manage. Some may have a negative reaction to that idea. Let me explain. By relationship I mean those people who are in our lives. That includes God, my spouse, my children, my friends, and all those I touch in some way through a day. I used "relationship" because the idea of "managing people" seems like an invasion into their lives. And in fact I can't change them. I can, though, manage the investment I make in these relationships. That is the part I can work with day to day.
