The Seven "C"s of Positive Well Being
1. COMPETENCE - A person with positive well being is a competent person.
2. CONFIDENCE - A person with positive well being is confident that "God's Got This" and does NOT entertain worry, stress, or fear. They remain balanced even when the storms are blowing.
3. CONNECTION - A person with positive well being stays connected to God and with people. They maintain a "healthy" relationship with God and maintain "healthy" relationships with people with the right boundaries, etc.
4. CHARACTER - A person with positive well being does right by people when they are in their presence and also maintains integrity when noone is watching.
5. CONTRIBUTION - A person with positive well being invests in people, the church, and it's mission. They also invest in their communities and beyond.
6. COPING - A person with positive well being understands that most things happen for a reason, even when they don't understand it. God can take the darkest circumstances and turn them for good.
7. CONTROL - A person with positive well being has given both aspects of control over to God and has peace over it. 1) Positive well being allows you freely to relinquish control: 2) Positive well being allows you to freely hand your life over to God.
