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.
But what made him so much fun to watch?
His passing skills.
He could pick apart another teams defense with ease. Nothing was off limits for him.
He did that for years on end.
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.
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 was the guy who made average players look good and good players look great.
And the great players into incredible ones. That was his goal.
So today I am going to ask you the question...how are you making other people in your life better.
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 keep that in mind.
