What can you learn about relationships from a famous basketball point guard?
A ton.
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...
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.
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.
He said that he didn't aim to be the highest scorer or the flashiest player out there on the court...
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.
And so I ask you today, "Are you making the people around you better...or worse?"
Are you an addition to their lives are you a subtraction?
You can ask this question of every single type of relationship that 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 ever forget...you are a product of the people you hangout with and your environment as well.
Always remember that.
