<\/span><\/h2>\nWe humans are a social breed. We tend to do what we see other humans doing, positive or negative.<\/p>\n
Being around people who are growing and improving themselves and who understand your drive for personal development means you\u2019re more likely to grow and improve yourself. You\u2019re more likely to feel inspired when you see others breaking the old habits in favor of a way that serves them better.<\/p>\n
Plus, one of the things I get from the tribe I spend time with is that they call on me to be my best self.<\/p>\n
I try to hide out sometimes, I admit it. But they\u2019re not having it.<\/p>\n
They reflect back to me what they see and stand for my greatness and expect the best of me, which feels pretty amazing.<\/p>\n
We all are better off when we feel seen, supported and called to be the best version of ourselves.<\/p>\n
<\/span>3. You Have Someone Else to Learn From<\/span><\/h2>\nIt\u2019s incredible what I learn from other women. It\u2019s changed my whole life completely for the better.<\/p>\n
Some taught me who I am as a woman, and some knew how to help me have a great relationship, and others remind me where I\u2019ve been and what matters.<\/p>\n
Having friends who are in your same season of life definitely has its benefits. But what if you were intentional about making some friends that were in different seasons? What would you learn from those friends?<\/p>\n
Think of your age as the level that you\u2019re on in the video game of life. Wouldn\u2019t it be great to learn from women who are ahead of you in the video game of life? And what about getting some reminders from the women who are behind you, too?<\/p>\n
One thing I can tell you about being on level 49 is that it\u2019s clear that talking to the other players has made me more successful.<\/p>\n
<\/span>4. You Have Built-In Cheerleaders<\/span><\/h2>\nLetting people in means letting them see both the good and the bad in your life.<\/p>\n
While friends have permission to challenge you and hold you accountable, they also have the privilege of cheering you on and celebrating your breakthroughs. What a joy!<\/p>\n
Nobody can cheer for you unless they see what you\u2019re doing. They can\u2019t see what you\u2019re doing unless you let them see by sharing it.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re not cheering for anybody or getting cheered for now, I promise it will make you excel in ways you hadn\u2019t imagined you could.<\/p>\n
It also makes day-to-day life a lot more fun.<\/p>\n
