What can you learn about relationships from a famous basketball point guard?
Apparently a lot.
Steve Nash was a pretty small guy by NBA standards sitting at 6ft 3in but he could handle the ball like a dream.
What made him really fun to watch?
He could pass like no one else.
He could find a seam in the defense and exploit it like none other. He could pick apart another team easily.
He did that for years and years until he retired.
One time, a reporter asked him what his goal was when he went out onto the court every day and his answer to the question was perfect. So good in fact it has me writing about it years later.
Nash proclaimed that he wasn't trying to be the guy that scored all the points or got all the attention...
But he wanted to be the teammate that made everyone else look incredible.
he would turn the average players on his team into great players.
That was his goal.
So today I am going to ask you the question...how are you making other people in your life better.
Are you allowing them to become more than who they are or are you making them worse?
Ask this question of every single relationship you have.
But the second piece of this conversation is just as important as what you bring...
What are others bringing into your life? Are they making you better? Or are they making you worse?
If you truly want to grow in this life, you have to get rid of anyone who is making you worse and sucking the energy out of you. You don't have time for that. You should aim for you life to be a drama free zone and clear out anything that is creating waves. Life will do that on its own. It's your job to hold up your end of the bargain.
Don't ever forget...you are a product of the people you hangout with and your environment as well.
Always remember that.
