Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?
I was a unhappy pessimist for a long time. I felt that bad things always happen to me, I was a victom in many ways. I was exposed to many things at a young age and I could easily be angry at the world for "happening to me".
Once I read a quote that described the values of struggles in life. Everything that defines you comes as a struggle or hardship. Those easy moments in life do not make you it is the struggles that shape you. The truly good moments wold not be as good without the bad.
So, I just lost my job. It was a job that didn't make me super happy to begin with but I needed to work to pay the bills so I pressed on. On Thursday I was let go rather unfairly but rather than dwelling on the situation I choose to move forward. I am not sure what the reason is for what is happening right now but I do have faith that there is a reason.
So, what things can you recall that "happend for a reason" in your life?

I'm (sadly) a pessimist too... I'm trying to improve it...
Good luck on finding a new job, one that is much better than the one you lost.
A few years back I was leaving work with a coworker, we were walking to our cars and she kept muttering over and over again, "I hate this job! I hate this job!" I guess God or whatever Creative Power there is, heard her. The next day she was let go.
Another time I heard a friend say she wasn't meant to be happy. I got her to change that to a positive statement--I used to be unhappy but my life is changing and I'm getting happier. Yes, her life did change and she did become happier.
I lost my 44 year old son in a car accident a little over a year ago, have had three stents put into my heart recently, I now have 6 but I still try to make my comments positive. I thank my God for giving me a healthy heart, thanks to the Drs and those life giving stents.
Listen, listen, listen. Write positive sentences about yourself.
"I love my new job" I love my new job I love my new job.

If we all can send positive thoughts to each other, we can help improve each others lives.
Prayers work too.
You are what you think about all day, and those days eventually become the rest of your life... Act like you want to be and you will be how you try to act..
Thanks for your kind and helpful words, we are all very blessed!
