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. He could pass like no one else in the game.
That guy could find a seam in the defense to exploit in any situation.
And he did...time and time again.
A reporter once asked him what made him so great and what his main goal was when he went out onto the court. The answer was so good that I am writing about it all these years later.
Nash proclaimed that he wasn't trying to be the guy that scored all the points or got all the attention...
But that he wanted to be the guy that made everyone else twice as good as they could have been.
He was the guy who made average players look good and good players look great.
That was his goal.
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?
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...
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 every forget that you are direct product of the experiences you have and the people you hangout with.
Always remember that.
