Deception in any form kills intimacy.
You will not have healthy relationships if you are constantly trying to manipulate the person/people on the other end of the relationship. You will not have healthy relationships if you engage intimately with people who manipulate you. Ultimately, this truth exists: A healthy person in a relationship with an unhealthy person still makes an unhealthy relationship.
"Have To" - "I'm not really looking forward to it, but it's necessary."
"Get To" - Implies privilege or honor. "I get to do this."
Would you rather have a "Have To" life or a "Get To" life?
A life without purpose is often a "Have To" life and leaves us constantly longing for something more. Purpose - "The reason for which something is done or created."
"Why do I exist?"
Your primary purpose is to bring God Glory.
What are my gifts?
What are my passions?
What do others see in me? What opportunities or potential opportunities are in front of me?
