    Hello,
    So my life was going relatively fine. I mean, I had a problem with feeling depressed but for the most part was hopeful of my wants/needs. All of a sudden, after one bad event, it seemed I was plagued with bad luck. I even tried to meditate, be positive, etc. But there seemed to be no escape and all of my attempts to change my situation had faltered. After a constant string of bad luck, back to back, I kind of feel worse than I did before it all happened. I don’t understand why this happened, or what lesson i’m supposed to learn. It just feels like I was just dealt baf cards but why? And how can I learn any lesson that i’m not seeing?

    Thank you to everyone involved in this website! Very grateful.

    Bad luck sucks. A string of bad luck sucks even more.  We cannot control the Universe.

    I like what Neal Donald Walsh said in his book, Conversations With God.  Our purpose in life is not to learn lessons like kids in classroom with God in front rapping our knuckles with a ruler but to remember our perfection.

    There is the Serenity Prayer which talks about having acceptance with things we cannot control.

    I also like Viktor Frankel who wrote about his Nazi Concentration Camp experience in Man’s Search for Meaning.  He survived the horror through finding meaning in life.

    Plain and simple, life happens, and none of us can stop it. Acknowledging a responsibility to push through is crucial. Why be responsible? Well, be someone who can keep going when the going gets tough. Be the kind of person you would want on your team with you RIGHT NOW, while you’re struggling. What does that person look like? That’s up to you to understand.

    Just keep watching, and the lessons will appear to you like the sun in the sky. They’ll be undeniable to you.

    Go easy.
