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.
But 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.
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.
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 teammate that made everyone else look incredible.
He was the guy who made average players look good and good players look great.
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 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 conversation that's incredibly important.
How are people adding to your life? Are they making you better? Are your relationships healthy or toxic?
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 forget that you are a product of your environment, the experiences you have, and the people you spend most of your time with.
Always remember that.
