It's all about relationships

Critical to having a great life is developing positive relationships. It doesn't matter if you are wealthy or famous, if you don't have positive realtionships in your life that you enjoy, you will not have a great life. Ask Howard Hughes or Lindsey Lohann. Positive relationships make you laugh and build you up. Positive relationships stand by you when you make bad decisions and help you make good decisions.

Take some time to think about the relationships you have in your life. Make a list of 20 people or so who influence you on a regular basis. Maybe you talk with them on the phone. Maybe you see them at church or school. Maybe you work with them or they are a family member. Then consider whether they are people who encourage you and build you up, or people who drag you down. Do you really enjoy being around them or do they drain you of energy?

Focus your time with those who are positive in your life. Obviously, there are some people with whom you have to spend time, but, when you have the choice, don't consistently put yourself around those who drag you down.

Also, consider groups you can get involved in where you can meet more positive people. This may be a small group at church, a group of guys who play basketball from the office, or maybe you need to volunteer at a local charity. These should be people around your same age, who have similar interests, and who will encourage you.

All of us need people in our life who will encourage and support us. A great life is really all about relationships.
