You can learn about relationships from a famous point guard from the NBA? Yep!
Apparently a lot.
You see, Steve Nash wasn't the biggest guy ever. In fact, he's pretty small for a NBA basketball player standing at only 6ft 3in. But boy could the guy handle the ball...
But what made him so much fun to watch?
He could pass. He could pass like no one else in the game.
That guy could find a seam in the defense to exploit in any situation.
He did that for years and years until he retired.
A reporter once asked Nash what his goal was when he went out onto the court...and his reply to this question struck me when I heard it years and years ago.
He said that he didn't aim to be the highest scorer or the flashiest player out there on the court...
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?
You can ask this question of every single type of relationship that you have.
But there's another piece to this and it's just as important about what you bring to the table...
It's about other people and what they are bringing to your life. Are they making you better or are they making you worse? Is your life toxic or is it healthy?
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 forget that you are a product of your environment, the experiences you have, and the people you spend most of your time with.
Keep this in mind.
