How to design purposeful relationships.
You have no choice in the physical characteristics of the family you inherit at birth, and sometimes you also feel your opportunities to choose the work you desire are limited. However, you do have great choice in your social relationships—based on those with whom you choose to spend your time. You have a wide variety of choices to be with people and organizations that can enhance your qualities, expand your understandings, and bring positive energy into your life.
Why would anyone choose to be with negative people and organizations who poison their lives with limiting beliefs and prevent them from evolving and expanding?
It’s said that if you tell me who your friends are, I can tell you who you are. When you choose diverse people who support you positively while challenging and broadening your views—whether they be friends, forums, neighbors, associations, or acquaintances— they will expedite your evolution and expansion. The more you are aware and connected with all your communities’ components, the wider your “I” is.
