“I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it.” — Ariana Grande
In a world where you can get almost anything delivered to your door within 24 hours, we’ve likely become the most impatient human society to date.

One Positive Action
Surround yourself with energy givers:
The people around us influence how we think, how we show up, and how we feel about ourselves. When we surround ourselves with folks who are constantly drained, cynical, or dismissive, it chips away at our own energy. But when we’re around people who are real, kind, and grounded in growth? That’s where connection thrives. That’s where we start to feel braver, more capable, and more willing to show up fully.
Energy givers aren’t just the loud cheerleaders. Sometimes they’re the quiet ones who really listen, the ones who ask honest questions, or who hold space for your struggles without trying to fix you. These are the people who celebrate your wins without envy, who challenge you with love, and who remind you that you’re not alone in your messy, imperfect, beautiful humanness. They are your supporters.
But finding those people, and choosing to stay close to them, takes intention. It means being honest about how certain relationships make you feel. It means noticing when you leave a conversation feeling more grounded, more energized, more like yourself. And it means giving yourself permission to limit time with people who constantly drain you, even if that’s uncomfortable.
So today, reach out to one person who lifts you up. Maybe it’s someone who inspires you, someone you trust to be honest with you, or someone who just gets it. Send a text, schedule a catch-up, or simply let them know they matter to you. Getting around energy givers isn’t just good for your motivation, it’s essential for your well-being.
