Cultivating A Better Life Support System (BLSS) Around You
Truly successful people know that they owe their success to the people around them. No one with a healthy attitude about their success will say that they achieved it all by themselves. Successful people create support systems around them which aid them in achieving happiness, security, well-being and positive life outcomes.
Definition
A Better Life Support System, or BLSS, is simply a unique group of individuals that you can count on to help you and guide you in your quest to make a mark and live a life of significance. Such a support system has been referred to in some circles as an inner circle of friends. I refer to it as a Better Life Support System since it is much more than just an inner circle of friends. An inner circle sometimes may consist of people that are bent on doing evil. (the world is full of dictators who have very tight inner circles). A Better Life Support System consists only of people who are building each other positively. Their single goal is to help each other make a mark.
Some Dynamics of a Better Life Support System
Everyone has the responsibility of cultivating their own BLSS. There are certain key things you want to look for when doing this. You want to develop this group into a clique that plays an active role in each other’s lives. Relationships within the group will go beyond reciprocity to empowering. The support system is characterized by initiative and leadership rather than reciprocating for acts of kindness and goodness.
The goal of a BLSS is the continued growth and development of its members. Each spurs the other to grow and develop themselves. This can be through sharing resources for personal growth and development, communicating ideas that will enable the other to be a better person, giving feed-forward that will ensure the progress of a friend and providing insights that improve the lives of others within the support system.
You can make a mark; not only with your own life but also in someone else’s life. Develop a Better Life Support System around you and also be a part of someone else’s Better Life Support System.
