A couple of months ago I had lost a widget. You know that thing that is valuable to you and you need to always know where it’s at to maintain happiness in life. My widget is gone! It was depressing and all sorts of thoughts rushed through my head.

In recent years I have had a lot of different support systems, most negative. Why were they negative?They were dishonest, manipulative, and sometimes just mean. In the past my support systems may have just made fun of my situation, told me just to get over it, or worse, tried to feed into my paranoia to have greater control of my life. That was before I learned how to set up a positive support system( more info is on www.mentalhope.com link: support systems).

So I called my shinny new support system(based on positive models) and told them about my problem expecting the same ‘ol response or a few words on encouragement and “it will be ok” pat on the back kinda’ thing(sometimes it’s good to hear that to), but I was WRONG!!

Within one day, 2 people out of my support system was turning my apartment upside down helping me to find my widget. They didn’t question my suspicions nor critize me for my feelings. That didn’t care about finding my widget. They only had one agenda in mind. My well being. Within 1 hr they found what I had lost. The discovery that I had made was about wise decisions on who to let into my life and showed to be even a greater value than my widget and it’s something I hope I will never lose.

Keep it Real, Keep it True,
