What can you learn about relationships from a famous basketball point guard?
Apparently a lot.
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.
And what made him so much fun to watch?
He could pass like no one else.
That guy could find a seam in the defense to exploit in any situation.
And he did...time and time again.
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 said that he wasn't trying to be the highest scorer on the team...
But he wanted to be the guy that made everyone else look better.
he would turn the average players on his team into great players.
That was his goal.
And so I ask you today, "Are you making the people around you better...or worse?"
Are you allowing them to become more than who they are or are you making them worse?
Take some time to ask this question of every relationship you have.
But there's another piece to this and it's just as important about what you bring to the table...
What are others bringing into your life? Are they making you better? Or are they making you worse?
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.
