Episode 057 - Proximity and Purpose

In today’s society we are told that we need to accept others for who they are.  But with that acceptance sometimes comes a lack of standards.  I said it in a recent podcast episode, “the minimum standard becomes the new standard.” It can be unhealthy and even dangerous to cling to the level of acceptance that we are provided by the people we choose to be around.  Like it or not, we are all products of our environment, good or bad. We all have a choice as to who we allow into our lives and how we allow their influence to affect us.  Today’s episode is focused on our mental health.  Specifically, how our mental health is affected by those who we allow in our lives and in our proximity.  I will talk about the different ways people affect us and possibly even stifle our potential and I will give you some strategies that you can implement in order to qualify your sphere of influence. -- Firefighter Podcast Facebook Community IGNITEd Readers Book Club Proverbs 27:17 “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”
