Life is full of good times and bad times. When my husband died I went through a terrible time but that eventually turned around. Now I am going through a bad time again about something just as bad but it is starting to change again for the good. Bad times teaches us lessons in life and helps us to appreciate the good ones more fully.

I've been through very bad times (years of serious illness, a terrible marriage and divorce, poverty as a single parent) when it seemed the hell would never stop. I had no control over the Ilness, but after I was better, I did start taking much better care of myself and have been in good health since. I also took a serious look at my life and realized I had been making a lot of bad choices, surrounding myself with the wrong kinds of people, etc. Sometimes we have no control over the bad things that happen, but other times - we need to look at our choices and make better ones if we want our lives to change.
I have learned something valuable from every difficult time in my life, even though it sometimes took years for the reasons to be clear. Some pain teaches us that life just sucks now and then, and that we have to appreciate and focus on the good things we do have in our lives - however minor.
Whenever the bad comes, I try to:
1) look at my choices and see if I'm making good ones
2) focus on helping others less fortunate than me (there is always someone in worse shape)
3) make a daily gratitude list (and yes there are days when the list is..."I have an indoor toilet", lol)
4) remember that "this too shall pass". Hang in there kiddo, if this is a hard time you are going through. If you're making good choices, it will get better! Have faith and don't be afraid to ask for help.

I have been on a roll lately with the bad. So many bad things I won't go into here, but I do believe all things happen for a reason. Sometimes the reason doesn't show itself for a long time. Eventually the pendulum (sp)
swings the other way. Hope you are having good times.

Yes, if you change your ways good things eventually happen... Even if it doesn't seem so good.... I used to deal drugs, and was in a street gang, CVL in chicago & oakland cali. Straight up gangsta back then....with a lengthy record (i'm now on paper for 2 charges, one of them for assualt) but anyways. I'm now with a loving girlfriend, which I just stopped doing all the bad **** for, and things turned around. My ex wife, who was a drugy, and who didn't let me see my son, let me see him again (though now she's back on drugs and won't let me see him), though I made thousands more then I do now, I'm a working man now... I have everything I need, that I earned through real work... I'm back in school @ MediaTech Institute, doing what I always dreamed of doing (sound engineer/producer). I now got a full fledge studio that I bought all the parts to. Life is getting better and better.. though I'm still struggling. You gotta look at life beyond the sky & things will come good if you believe & achieve... only THEN all those cry's for god's help, will pay off, and god will come down and help you, if you help yourself...

just hang in there. sometimes when things seem their darkest, the light seems to shine it's brightest. everyone has to go through what seems like initiations in this life, but usually at the end of the drama, things work out for the better.
