Developing Your Inner Dream Team
I agree with you the reader already, YES, this is a basic and bull**** topic that everybody discusses. Believe you and me there is no need to discuss the unimportance of the topic of “The Dream Team” but I will give it my best. 

The reason this is important is because we are built on relationships, everything we do depends on others in some capacity, small or large. The difference in whether it is a small or large relationship is the importance of Consistency! The prime example of Consistency in the relationships in your life is of course family but also your friends, especially with age. 

Your family is there since birth to raise you, teach you, change you and feed you and give you the emotional needs every human needs. After learning all of these lessons from our family you then establish and develop relationships in the form of close personal friends. These close personal friends then become your consistency in life. They then become the people you go to for advice. Whether it be after a breakup, they become people who share common goals and similar attributes as you and the people to comfort you during times of negative and hardship. These people then become your “Inner Dream Team”.

If your “Inner Dream Team” has negative habits, negative views on life and has no positive goals moving forward in their life then GUESS WHATso will you champ! 

Don’t make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.

Thomas J. Watson

This is the entire purpose of the Delete After Listening Podcast is to allow you the growth you need to keep moving forward in life, regardless of how uncomfortable these conversations are but the hard truth is uncomfortable. The proper people around you in your life will not hate you or disrupt your success, the proper people in your life will want to see you succeed at all costs and begin to develop their own version of success from your motivation. The people that dread your success and would rather be jealous or sabotage your success are not your friends. In my life this rarely is verbal, it is usually in their actions towards you and will be left up to you to decide if they are being toxic in your life.

Conclusion Lesson

If there is one lesson I learned in my adolescence that I wish I knew growing up it would be this. Never be afraid of cutting people off in your life. Another quote of mine that I love is this. “If I cut you off, chances are, you handed me the scissors.” This does require a level of discernment between these prime examples of reasons to cut somebody off in your life. Do they bring happiness and purpose into your life? Do they make you question your ability in a positive way or negative way? Are you happy with them? These are all questions we need to begin to ask ourselves when it comes to the ones closest to us. Starting this year, I employ you to begin crafting your dream team and establishing your growth as a human being instead of suffocating it.
