How can a person remain positive when nothing is going right in his life?

Answer 1

this may sound stupid but try to find something good in every situation you can. i know that it is sometimes impossible to do, but when you can it will help you stay positive. Also try to talk to people who are positive, it can be addictive as can negativity, so beware of negative people when you are feeling down.

Answer 2

Why can't you remain positive, what other way or choice do you have? If you choose not to be positive, then you should be negative, would you want to be negative?
When nothing is going right, it could be happening for a reason. Nothing just happens without a purpose or a reason in this universe. What makes you say that nothing is going right in (your) life. What is right and wrong? Who determines it?
So the best thing you can do, is to flow with the tide and have an open mind to what happens in your life and take your cue from there.

I'm sorry, I too had that black cloud following me around - and often. Running away from things doesn't work nor does moving. That is words I've learned through experience. I know problems need to be addressed so that the wrong things in life can turn around. It's a slow process but in the long run, it does work. If you don't already, seek a therapist. I didn't believe in them but I was 'ordered' to do this. I finally found a therapist after going through 3 of them. I thought I was being difficult. It's been a couple of years. I noticed the changing to a positive after about the 2nd or 3rd month. I used to procrastinate and now I don't. I have also learned that the things that were not right in my life is no-ones fault but mine because I didn't address it right away or It was not handled correctly. Taking time to understand the situation, addressing it within the allotted time and following up on the conclusion has made my whole life spin a 360. I feel like my cloud was probably passed on to you. I'm real sorry your going through this bad moment in life. But please believe me when I say it's never to late to turn things around and it's been great!!! Good Luck and I'll say a prayer for you Wordnflo.

I know exactlly what you mean. I never can be comfortable when things even start to go a little good, something always happens to mess it up. Honestly I don't try to be positive anymore, why bother. If I expect the worse, I can plan for the worse and I usually am not disapointed.

Put your faith in God and let Him be your rock. Looking in the rearview mirror also helps you to remember the many times in your life that God was there with you and for you even when you thought no one was....just know with all of your heart that He is with you now. These times of trial serve as building blocks for our faith. And remember that whenever you are experiencing a trial this is God's prelude to a blessing for you.
