“Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.”
Oprah Winfrey
It’s easy to coast, allowing friendships, work relationships, or social connections to persist out of habit. But if you’re committed to growth, you must be intentional about who’s with you on the journey. This isn’t about what you can get from those relationships. It’s about giving back as well. Are you lifting others as you rise? Are you adding value to the people around you? If you expect to be surrounded by those who lift you higher, you have to be the kind of person who lifts others higher as well. This intentional relationship-building is key to your personal growth.
Take stock of your circle today. Who are you surrounding yourself with, and how are you showing up for them?
