It may be a clan, a tribe, a network or a family -whatever we call it, we all need a small group of people in our lives who lift us higher.
Anaïs Nin, the French novelist once profoundly remarked: “Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born”.
I’ve often heard it said that we should surround ourselves with people who reflect the person we want to be.
It got me thinking, of the friends I am proud to know, people I admire, who love and respect me despite my flaws and people who make my day a little brighter simply by being in it.
Relationships should help us, not hurt us. Spending time with people who lift us higher, and help us become better versions of ourselves is freeing.
Who are the people who lift you higher?
