Thanks for the answers, but you see, its luck I can't control,,,Like,,,my car being vadalized twice!! My roof leaking a week after I got a new one,,,,my phone going out for days for no reason..I pay all my bills on time....the electrical in my house all of a sudden giving me problems..$$$$ I use to have a positive outlook on life.....I use to glow with positivity...but over the last 6 months to a year, its been one thing after another, and all out of my control....so, how does positive thinking change that.

positive thinking doesn't change what happens to you, it just changes how you respond. bad things will always happen, but if you're positive, you can make it through those bad things and be stronger for it

I don't think it is bad luck...well a little because you are having a streak of it but more than anything honey it's just life. It seems like when crap happens it happens all at once. It goes in spurts you will have everything crumbling around you and then find that everything goes smooth for another 6 months. It happens to everyone and it can be so frustrating...but if it makes you feel better you are not alone.
Just a few months ago we booked our first 'big' vacation and just prayed nothing would go wrong with our house that would take $. Well no sooner did we say that, the garage goes out, the dish washer stops working, and the garbage disposal. Also my hubby's car just dies and needs major repair. So the cost of our vacation was spent on just necessary things. But we still went on vacation and if that stuff happen before we booked it we would have never booked it.
So everything happens for a reason and you just gotta put it in perspective. You say it's just been the past 6 months....so prior to that I assume things were sailing along nicely. It will come back (your good luck) you just gotta weather the storm.

Bad Luck or Good Luck - we see things how we see them. Your outlook on life determines that.
I may have a really bad day at work but make all the lights on the way home. Or I may have a great day at work and hit all the lights. Sometimes I have the bad day and hit all the lights - sometimes this gets me down, I try rather hard not to let it get my temper going either. It's all how I look at life.
A very important piece of advice I was given once - If you are ever feeling like your life sucks and everything is against you - Look around, it doesn't take long to find someone that is worse off then you. Just look, you see people all the time that are suffering from something, have a birth defect, or are homeless, jobless. Life can be a lot worse, always be glad for the little things.

Sure that's bad luck....but I know plenty of people who've had even worse bouts of bad luck. I hope you were proactive and called the people who did the shoddy work on your roof and got that taken care of. You probably should talk to an electrician to make sure all of the wiring in your house is up to par. I think it's perfectly normal for a wave of bad things to happen. You gotta just accept it's part of life and focus on the things you do have: good friends, healthy family, and you aren't on the streets. Just keep things in perspective.

As far as all the bad things that seem to be happening to you recently, it really has nothing to do with luck. Like someone else said, its basically just a streak. It does seem that things tend to happen in bunches, but at least, you can get them resolved and get them out of the way. When you start feeling bad about yourself and your situation, just watch an episode of "Springer" and that should make you feel better about yourself.
