The Circle

“Surround yourself only with people who are going to lift you higher.”
~Oprah Winfrey~

Inside the circle. Outside the circle.

It’s really that simple.

The people inside your circle aren’t there because of likes or follows or how many times they commented on your post. They’re there because of time. Truth. Showing up when it wasn’t convenient.

Technology gives you reach. The circle gives you roots.

The Dude has a small circle. Always has. And he wouldn’t trade one person inside it for a thousand on the outside. Because the ones inside — they know the real you. The unfiltered, unscheduled, no-highlight-reel version.

Guard your circle. Choose carefully who gets in. And once they’re in — show up for them the same way they show up for you.

Thought for the Day
Who’s in your circle? And are you showing up for them the way they show up for you?
