You can work toward your goals alone. You can rely only on yourself for motivation.

You CAN go it alone.

BUT the question is why would you want to do that when there are so many amazing people out there to encourage and support you?

A bit ago I wrote about cutting out the crabs from your life – about cutting out the people who don’t support you and try to hold you back.

That post wasn’t about cutting out everyone and going it alone. It was actually about finding a new SUPPORTIVE community.

You should be selective about who you have around you and value the people who lift you up and make you better.

But you SHOULD find people to surround yourself with that will support you.

Because the journey is better together.

When you need advice or feel like you don’t know your next step, it’s nice to have someone to turn to.

When you don’t feel like sticking to your plan or have a rough day and need motivation, it’s nice to have someone to turn to.

When you’ve had setback and hit obstacles, it is nice to have someone to turn to.

Someone to turn to who’s gone through what you’ve gone through.  Someone who understands the difficulties and can help you stay motivated and moving forward. Someone who supports your goals and will try to push you forward.

Someone who wants to share in your highs and your lows and BELIEVES IN YOU AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

Find people who support you unconditionally.

And by “unconditionally,” I don’t mean they won’t ever question or push or force you to think. Because unconditional support doesn’t mean they believe everything you do is perfect. It doesn’t mean they don’t tell you when you are being stupid.

Actually unconditional support means they care about you enough to help set you right!

It means they are going to question and challenge. They are going to make you think. But they are doing it to make you better, not to drag you down.

And this unconditional support network can come from anywhere. It can be a group we join, a community on an app we use. It can be a blog, our family, our friends.

It can be online or offline…Heck you can have numerous support groups for different things!

The thing is…It’s better together!

Get the support you deserve to help you move forward with your journey!

Now the question is, who is in your support network? What online/offline communities are you a part of? How has this community helped push you forward?
