Friends can be our best weapon in times of adversity, as they strengthen our resolve. One study asked people to rate the gradient of a hill, and anticipate how difficult they would find it to climb. People who rated the hill in the presence of a friend saw the slope as less steep – and the closer they felt to the friend they were with, the easier the climb appeared.

I love this, Iggy! There is nothing like good friends to make a person feel like all the “crap of the day” (pardon my language) isn’t so important anymore and doesn’t have the power to bring us down.
