What can you learn about relationships from a famous basketball point guard?
Apparently a lot.
Steve Nash was a pretty small guy by NBA standards sitting at 6ft 3in but he could handle the ball like a dream.
And what made him so much fun to watch?
He could pass. He could pass like no one else in the game.
He could find a seam in the defense and exploit it like none other. He could pick apart another team easily.
And he did...time and time again.
A reporter once asked Nash what his goal was when he went out onto the court...and his reply to this question struck me when I heard it years and years ago.
Nash proclaimed that he wasn't trying to be the guy that scored all the points or got all the attention...
But he wanted to be the guy that made everyone else look better.
he would turn the average players on his team into great players.
And the great players into incredible ones. That was his goal.
And so I ask you today, "Are you making the people around you better...or worse?"
Are you adding to their life or subtracting from it?
Take some time to ask this question of every relationship you have.
But the second piece of this conversation is just as important as what you bring...
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 truly want to grow in this life, you have to get rid of anyone who is making you worse and sucking the energy out of you. You don't have time for that. You should aim for you life to be a drama free zone and clear out anything that is creating waves. Life will do that on its own. It's your job to hold up your end of the bargain.
Don't ever forget...you are a product of the people you hangout with and your environment as well.
Keep this in mind.
