everyone has these dreams and goals but we also like to keep them private. when someone else becomes involved in your progress it creates a pressure and greater awareness.
there are also conversations that many people feel they can only have with themselves. we know our motivations, fears and obstacles. other people can be involved but motivation has to come from within.
when another person is involved in your own personal growth they have access to everything. this access and this knowledge makes them a personal embodiment of everything that you hide in your head. this person has to be able to handle this pressure and you have to be able to handle this person being what they are.
it creates a delicate dynamic and everyone has people in their lives who they allow in to some extent but everyone has their walls. i personally use different people for different parts to spread things out. it seems more fair to others, it focuses less on a single person and it creates natural boundaries.
regardless of who you choose though they will play a large role in your growth. i like to pick people who i see as quasi role models. if i want to be social then i work with a person who i think it good socially. whatever the case this network has an inpact; they may not be influential but they matter.
