What In The World Does Steve Nash Have To Do With It?

What can you learn about relationships 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?
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 and years until he retired.
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 guy that made everyone else look better.
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 adding to their life or subtracting from it?
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...
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 ever forget...you are a product of the people you hangout with and your environment as well.
Always keep that in mind.
