You think you want to be around successful people, but you don’t.? Because if you did, you would. The reason you don’t? You’re not ready to leave your comfort zone. Before heading to Costa Rica, I was feeling near the top of my game.? 20 days of no drinking, THC, social media, TV, and distractions. I was locked in and in a nice groove.? Content was popping off. Routine was dialed in. But I was also spending a lot of time alone. Immersed in my own work. Living a 10/10 life by yourself is one thing.? Living a 10/10 life with your family and friends is another. You can have thriving friendships, and be an absent son.? You can be a top performer, and have mediocre work relationships.? You can be in amazing physical shape, and disconnected from your emotions. The essence of a 10/10 life is to feel complete in all parts of life.? The goal is progress, not perfection. The past few days, I was challenged to step into a higher version of myself.? To be a better son, a better friend, more connected with others. If you’re not surrounded by a group of people who challenge you.? It’s worth asking… are you even ready yet? If the answer is no, then the work begins with you. Start working on yourself with 1:1 therapists and coaches. I worked with several before joining the Alluviance community. Going to 3 day+ in-person immersions every 2-3 months has challenged me way more than a weekly 1-hour Zoom call with therapists and coaches. One of my favorite quotes during my loneliest times has been:? "When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” I'm grateful to have 40+ other teachers in my life at Alluviance. Loneliness is something I struggled with for 30+ years.? Now, I no longer do. I struggle with a ton of other things. But these struggles are molding me into a better person. The question now for you is, "If you're not surrounded by the people you want to be around, what challenges are you avoiding?" Because if you wanted to be around them, you would.
