I've worked with lots of psychotherapists over the years.  Some I thought were better than others.

 

One therapist I saw was a counselor whom I didn't work with for long, as I didn't think she was very good at it.

 

However, one helpful bit of advice she gave me was for me to surround myself with positive things and good people.  I thought that was excellent advice.

 

If you surround yourself with good things and good people, your life still won't be perfect and rosy.  You can't always avoid the unpleasant things in life.  You can't always avoid the headaches.

 

But if you do the best you can to surround yourself with good things and positive people, it will increase the chances that your life will be a happy and productive one.
