In this episode, Rick and Keith talk about the importance of surrounding yourself with friends that support you becoming your best. They share how important it is to attract these kinds of people in your life and how to nurture them once they’re there. They also talk about knowing when it might be time to let certain relationships go. Check it out!

Keith’s Reference: Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention on the present. When you’re mindful, you observe your thoughts and feelings from a distance, without judging them good or bad. Instead of letting your life pass you by, mindfulness means living in the moment and awakening to experience.

– “If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher.” ~Pema Chodron

Every person you meet has something special to give you—that is, if you are open to receiving it. Each encounter offers you the gift of greater self-awareness by illustrating what you do and don’t accept about yourself. An honest look will show you that the reactions you have to others give you more information about yourself than about them. You can never know for sure what motivates other people. But you can learn what you are accepting or judging in yourself.

Keith’s Reference: Landmark encourages being direct and obtaining agreements from and between with whom we have expectations. Landmark was founded in January 1991 by several of the presenters of a training program known as “The Forum”.  Landmark licensed the intellectual property rights to The Forum from Werner Erhard and Associates. The new company offered similar courses and re-employed many of the staff. The Forum was updated and reduced in length from four days to three, and this revised course was named “The Landmark Forum”, which has been further updated over the years. It has since developed around 55 additional training courses and seminar programs, which it delivers in 20 countries around the world. The core concepts center around self improvement and self- empowerment. www.landmarkworldwide.com.
