Are they constantly playing a victim?

Are they constantly making excuses?

If so, it's gonna be hard for you to grow if they're trying to pull you down.

So you've gotta keep leveling each other up as well in that community.

Your friend group, are you guys gossiping or talking about nonsense all day?

or eating unhealthy or going out and drinking beer every night, or are you guys doing conscious stuff?

I have a group of guys, we play pickleball almost every week together.

That's what we do to hang out.

We move our body, we have fun, we play, and then we have fun conversations afterwards.

I don't go out late at night.

I haven't been to a bar or nightclub in over a decade and a half probably.

I don't know the last time I went out to a bar.

or a nightclub, like that's just not something I do.

Now, if there's an industry event that's at a bar, okay, maybe that's different, but I'm not like just going out and having a drink.

I've never been drunk in my life.

So I wouldn't even go to those places to just hang out because they're not conducive to my lifestyle.

I want you to audit your circle, audit your friend group, your family group, your peers, your colleagues, audit everything.

And I want you to ask yourself, who makes you feel drained?

Who in that circle makes you feel drained?

Who makes you also feel the most empowered, the most inspired?
