The Circle Audit: Evaluate the People Around You

Send us Fan MailHello and welcome back to another episode of The Kingdom Growth Podcast.Today we are going to talk about something very important called “The Circle Audit.”Many people want to grow in life. They want to grow spiritually, financially, emotionally, and even in their purpose. But one thing they rarely examine is the environment they are growing in.Growth is not only about effort.It is also about environment.This is why The Circle Audit has three steps.Step 1: Identify the Hands Holding the MirrorAsk yourself a simple question:Who are the people I interact with the most?Think about the first 5 to 10 names that come to your mind.These are the people who form your social environment.They are the people whose voices, attitudes, and mindsets you hear most often.And whether you realize it or not, these voices shape the way you see life.Step 2: Diagnose the ReflectionAfter identifying those people, ask yourself three important questions.The Energy QuestionAfter spending time with this person, how do I feel?Do I feel:inspiredencouragedenergizedOr do I feel:draineddiscouragedemotionally heavy?Some people add life to you, while others slowly drain your strength.The Mindset QuestionWhat do you usually talk about with this person?Do your conversations focus on:growthideasfaithpossibilitiesOr do they mostly focus on:gossipcomplaintsproblemsnegativity?Your conversations shape your mindset.The Integrity QuestionWhen you are with this person, do you become a better version of yourself?Or do you find yourself compromising your values?The right people pull you upward.The wrong people pull you away from your true self.Step 3: Categorize with CompassionAfter answering these questions, you can place people into three categories.RadiatorsThese are people who:inspire youstrengthen yousupport your growthThey add energy and light to your life.      2. NeutralsThese people are generally stable.They don't strongly influence your direction, positively or negatively.They are simply part of your environment.      3. DrainsThese are the people who:pull you into negativityweaken your motivationdistract you from your purposeThey drain your emotional and spiritual energy.Sometimes when we do this audit, we discover something painful.We may realize that we are surrounded by the wrong influences.Or sometimes we may even discover that we ourselves are becoming the negative influence in a circle.True growth requires honesty and courage.Sometimes we must make difficult decisions in order to protect our future.our destiny is too important to be shaped by the wrong environment.Choose relationships that encourage your growth, strengthen your faith, and support your purpose.Because the truth is simple:Your circle influences your future.Thank you for listening to The Kingdom Growth Podcast with Papa David Snr.Follow the podcast and share this episode with someone who needs encouragement today.Connect with us online:Facebook: @papadavidsnrTikTok: @pdsministriesKeep growing in faith, wisdom, and purpose.
