I have heard that we become the people we sorround with, this is why it is important to always surround ourselves with people smarter than us. I never understood what this was about until this weekend.

I had a date with my accountability group, my accomplices, my friends. They are the kind of friends that make my head spin because they are so much smarter than I am. And it finally hit me, they make me grow!

We have deep conversations, we fix the world together, we are from different walks of live. These are women I admire because they make me think, they challenge my ideas, they don’t simply agree with me. They challenge me to think bigger, they believe in me even when I don’t.

When I can’t find the way, they help me pick up rocks to build the bridge that will get me to where I want to go. You see, these women are giants, and I walk among them.

This is why you need to walk with Giants, they will pick you up when you fall, they will lovingly, demand more of you that you believe you are capable of. Not because they don’t like you the way you are, but because they SEE you, the way you are. The way you can’t see yourself because you believe the story you tell yourself, but they can see right through it.

This is why we walk with giants, to become the better version of ourself. Our mirror neurons allow us to be empathetic, to level our thinking and to become angry to match our environment. They are the reason we get angry, even if we don’t want to, when people around us start arguing.

We are wired for connection and in that connection, we connect with everything and everyone around us. Notice how your mood goes down when your are around people that acomplain about everything. When they can’t find anything to be grateful for.

So, suround yourself with giants if you want to grow and make the best of your life. People who will always help you, call you out, push you to be the best you can be because they believe in you. And the beautiful part of it, is that eventually, you learn to believe in yourlself.
