What can you learn about the relationships you have in your life 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.
And what made him so much fun to watch?
He could pass like no one else.
He could pick apart another teams defense with ease. Nothing was off limits for him.
And he did...time and time again.
A reporter once asked him what made him so great and what his main goal was when he went out onto the court. The answer was so good that I am writing about it all these years later.
Nash said that he wasn't trying to be the highest scorer on the team...
But that he wanted to be the guy that made everyone else twice as good as they could have been.
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 adding to their life or subtracting from it?
Ask this question of every single relationship you have.
But there's another piece to this conversation that's incredibly important.
How are people adding to your life? Are they making you better? Are your relationships healthy or toxic?
If you want to grow, you have to get the energy drainers and the negative people out of your life. In fact, you should resolve to have your life be a drama-free zone. Now of course not all drama can be avoided (duh) but you have to clear out the people who constantly bring you down, don't support you, or make you worse.
Don't every forget that you are direct product of the experiences you have and the people you hangout with.
Keep this in mind.
