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...
And what made him so much fun to watch?
He could pass like no one else.
He could pick apart another teams defense with ease. Nothing was off limits for him.
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 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.
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 the second piece of this conversation is just as important as what you bring...
How are people adding to your life? Are they making you better? Are your relationships healthy or toxic?
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 ever forget...you are a product of the people you hangout with and your environment as well.
Always remember that.
