Who is in your Tribe?
TRIBE – A social division in a traditional society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious or blood ties, with a common culture and dialect, typically having a recognized leader.
Who is in your tribe? I have several, but one of my favorites is my Helo tribe. Point of this wod blog post is simple….. Choose wisely. Whether it is at work, at home or at the box, the people you surround yourself with should support you unconditionally. If you have people around you that are negative, insecure or destructive in life how do you think you will start viewing yours? Yup, that’s right, your world will turn negative, insecure or destructive in a heartbeat. We are all energy, and that energy is transferred. On a better note, it does the exact same thing on the other side. If you have a tribe that is constantly striving to do better (i.e. be a better spouse, co-worker, father/mother or friend) you will find yourself doing the same. Your friendships or tribes, just like the software on your phone, sometimes need a little updating. They need to be reassessed from time to time to see if they are still working for you.
Now in no way am I saying to ditch the ones you love or the ones that have been there for you since the beginning of time. I am just saying you may need to create some distance if they are affecting you negatively. But choose your inner circle wisely. Be relentless in surrounding yourself with those who bring out the best in you. Your direction and path in life depends on it.
Think about this, “you are the average of the 5 people you spend your most time with.” (Jim Rohn) Are they hard working, tireless about being and doing better? Do they help others, and are they encouraging during difficult times?
So, ask yourself, am I surrounded by people that are truly happy to see me win, or are they pretending to be? Now ask yourself, am I supportive of those around me or do I secretly hope they fail? Could you straighten someone’s crown without ever letting them know it was crooked in the first place? Have the courage to be a good friend, one who is willing to have the difficult discussions about: “Hey man, seems as though we haven’t been seeing eye to eye lately, is something up?” Life is too short to have shallow friendships. Look at your tribe and figure out how you can make it closer and stronger. Because after all you should stick with the people that pull the magic out of you, not the madness.
“Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and the thinkers, but most of all surround yourself with those who see greatness within you, even when you don’t see it yourself.” (Edmund Lee).
