“So what? Everything sucks!” You might reply vehemently. “You just don’t understand”

But I do understand. I understand a few things. One – I’m sorry you’re having a tough time but two – there is nothing I can do to change that tough time and if we just keep commiserating about it, it’s not going to make things better. In fact it will probably just make them worse because you’ll be dwelling on the bad so much.

It’s important I let you know that I support you and care about you. But it’s just as important that you know I want to help you raise your vibration so you can draw some good into your life to help elevate your mood at least a bit.

The best way to do that (increase your vibration) is to search for some good in your life. And I believe that there is always some good. Part of my job as a friend is to help you find it because when you’re down, it’s hard to identify even if it’s staring you in the face.

Embrace someone who’s trying to help you focus on the good instead of staying in the yucky part. Why would a friend want to leave you standing in the rain when they have an umbrella they are offering you. And why would you want to stand out there getting drenched when you could be under that umbrella your friend is offering you.

Find the good and be grateful for it.
