Want change? Who are you surrounding yourself with? - LaRocque Life Ep. 32
Nov 23, 2022Are you growing or dying?
Human nature has us all wanting to grow and evolve in whatever form that looks like for each of us, but in order to do that we’ve got to find the right people to be around.
That does not mean surrounding yourself with people who just want to gossip and continuously ask “why” when you share your dreams and goals.
It does mean surrounding yourself with people who will cheer for you when you’re winning, keep you motivated when you’re feeling down, and ask “why not” when you share your wildest dreams.
It’s no secret that 2020 has kicked the crap out of so many of us, and if you’re feeling stuck in a rut and like you want change, you’re definitely not alone.
In this episode, we’re talking all about the importance of getting out of your comfort zone, opening yourself up to new things, and the reasons why you should be surrounding yourself with people who will have your back - no matter what!
