What can you learn about the relationships you have in your life from a famous basketball point guard?
Seriously, you can.
Steve Nash, one of the best to play the game, wasn't the biggest guy on the court. In fact, he was pretty small by NBA's standards sitting at 6ft 3inches. However, that guy could handle the ball like magic.
What made him really fun to watch?
He could pass like no one else.
That guy could find a seam in the defense to exploit in any situation.
He did that for years on end.
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 he wanted to be the teammate that made everyone else look incredible.
He would turn average players into great players...
That was his goal.
So today I ask you...how are you making the 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 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.
Always keep that in mind.
