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.
But what made him so much fun to watch?
His passing skills.
He could find a seam in the defense and exploit it like none other. He could pick apart another team easily.
He did that for years on end.
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 that he wanted to be the guy that made everyone else twice as good as they could have been.
He would turn average players into great players...
And then he would make the great players look even better. That was his goal every single time.
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 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 are out there in the world spreading positivity you need to have people who also fill up your cup as well. You need to have people supporting you instead of bringing you down all the time. You can't live a healthy and happy life alone, but you also can't live a great life with toxic relationships spreading their poison in you.
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.
