I used to think I needed someone to call my venting buddy. I needed someone to listen to me vent about my woes and sorrows while she gave me all kinds of pep talks in the world. That was until I realized that after I spoke to this person, I felt so much better. I didn’t want her to be my venting buddy. I needed her to be my sunshine buddy. Because after speaking to her, it would be like the sun came over me and gifted me so much radiance. I felt as if the world around me was going to be ok. I was going to be ok.
Do you have one of these friends? Today, I want you to rethink the purpose of them and instead of asking them to hear you vent, ask them to be your sunshine buddy instead. Because when they are present with you, everything is so much better, and they bring to you a thousand smiles.
And remember to be someone’s sunshine buddy too…because as much as we can accept radiance in our life, we must return it to the world.
