We are shaped by the powerful, the culture, and mainly those that are close. Those that you bring in close - they really matter - because they are shaping you everyday. We don't always get to choose who we do life together with but I believe it is something we should pay close attention to. I have found the Close can help you thrive both personally and professionally. There are some of you reading this now that have shaped me in an amazing way - I sit in thankfulness. It has helped push me out of trenches and given me the heart to help others out of the trench.
