Relationships: This is the start

Of all the areas we could pick to discuss first, some may wonder why it's "relationships." Well, relationships are the foundation for which all other areas of your life are built. Think about it... if you have horrible communication with your spouse, trying to set and work on a financial goal is going to be difficult if you can't first learn to value, grow and nurture your relationship.

And it doesn't just have to be spousal relationships. The same holds true with other family members, kids, and even co-workers. Relationships involve the heart and therefore, we start with the heart. From there, we can work on all the other stuff... and we'll come back and do some more on relationships. But for now, we are going to hit on the most fundamental aspect of relationships - learning how to live and love well.

Relationships are a fundamental element in a life well-lived. Learn to master them, and you'll have mastered a critical fundamental element for life.
