Bad things happen to good people. It’s like being a target for getting hurt. Approaching the world with open arms sometimes sets us up for disappointment when things don’t pan out for us in life. It could even be just plain negative thoughts affecting us. Try to be unphased by darkness however created the moment is only temporary. Train yourself to believe things will get better, they can get better, this is only temporary, I’ll get through this, I won’t give up, I know I can overcome this. 

They say that a why me attitude “is a mindset where you view yourself as a helpless target of bad luck, unfairness, or hardship.” [1] But that’s maybe not true. Maybe it’s our thinking getting in the way of achieving the happiness you feel you deserve in life. Whoever said you need to stop wishing and hoping for better days ahead. No one’s ever too cool to jump hoops around balancing it all, may the best win in life, even if you’re behind in life. There are no short cuts, pride yourself in living an honest life, working hard. It’s always a step by step process to flip your day around and improve your thinking. Be positive.
