Have you ever stopped to think about who you’re doing life with? This little nugget is inspired by my friend, Mr. Davis Hamrick, from Laying Foundation’s Podcast. He shared a text with me that got my wheels turning, and it reminded me that life isn’t something that just happens to us. Instead, life can happen for us when we make thoughtful choices about who we surround ourselves with.

Who Are You Doing Life With?

First things first, ask yourself, "Who am I doing life with?" Think about the people you see and talk to every day. They’re not just your friends or family, they’re your team, contributors to your journey. With the right group of folks, life becomes a fun project where ideas are shared, dreams are built, and things get better—not just for you but for everyone around you.

The Influence of Your Circle

Here's the insight: The people you choose to hang around have a huge impact on your life. Their energy, their ideas, and their actions can motivate you to become the best version of yourself. Surround yourself with people who inspire you to do more, to be better, and to dream bigger. The goal is to create a circle that not only cheers you on, but challenges you to be the Promise You are Intended to Be.

A Strategy for Building Your Circle

Now let’s get to the actionable part. You need a strategy for surrounding yourself with great people. Here’s a simple way to start:

1. Inventory your Current Relationships: Take a moment to think about who you spend the most time with. How many of these relationships are positive and encouraging? How many are energy sucking vampires? And most importantly, how many are passive experiences that aren’t really positive or negative but take a lot of your time?

2. Seek Out “Contributors”: Look for friends, mentors, and even family members who inspire you. Join clubs, attend events, or become part of online communities that share your values and interests. One online community that I highly recommend is The Emotional Bungee Jumpers.👈

3. Share your gifts and talents: Remember, relationships are a two-way street. The more you support and encourage others, the more they’ll do the same for you.

In conclusion, life isn't just something that happens—it’s something that we can actively shape. By choosing the right people to be on this journey with you, life becomes a shared adventure full of possibilities. So, take a moment today to think about your companions and make sure you’re surrounded by those who truly lift you up.

Until next time, be cool and keep rocking it! Peace✌️
