I agree Kris we need to be emotionally self-sufficient. Yet I believe that my partner/friends/parents/children/colleagues — i.e. everyone in our lives, can make a difference.

For example, telling my wife that she looks pretty is going to make a big difference to her.

Another example: I think the physical touch is powerful. I remember my Mum tucking me into bed and pressing my shoulders down as a goodnight gesture. I do that to my children now — best feeling in the world!

So yes, it shouldn’t be necessary to have others keep us afloat — but it makes a darn big difference if they’re on our side — or at least making an effort to do so.
