What can you learn about relationships from a famous basketball point guard?
Seriously, you can.
Steve Nash was a pretty small guy by NBA standards sitting at 6ft 3in but he could handle the ball like a dream.
What made him really fun to watch?
His passing skills.
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 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.
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 allowing them to become more than who they are or are you making them worse?
Take some time to ask this question of every relationship you have.
But there's another piece to this conversation that's incredibly important.
What are others bringing into your life? Are they making you better? Or are they making you worse?
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.
Always keep that in mind.
