Muscle Minute #125: Surround Yourself with People Who Make You Better

"Surround yourself with people who push you to be better, not people who hold you back."

I believe that who you surround yourself with plays a huge role in how you grow. I want to be around people who inspire me—people who talk about what they’ve learned, the projects they’re working on, and the exciting life experiences that motivate them to get out of bed every morning.

I’m also all for talking about challenges and setbacks, but always with the mindset of, "I figured it out" or "I’m working on it." It’s all about progress, not playing the victim.

I’ve intentionally surrounded myself with people who push me to be better every day, and let me tell you—it completely changes your day-to-day operation and how you feel. This is what our community at CoryG Fitness & Max Effort Mafia is all about—getting better. And that’s why I love it so much.

So, ask yourself: Who’s in your circle, and are they pushing you to be the best version of yourself?

Let’s keep getting better together.
