Answer 1

Top question ! Your not alone brother, i'm exactly the same !

Answer 2

It's frustrating when we do everything "right" and things go wrong anyway. I've been there.
Some things I've tried which may help:
1. Determine IF there's anything you can do or change to prevent similar problems in the future. If so, make those changes.
2. Don't focus on all the bad things that have happened to you. This is hard, particularly when I'm in a foul mood and the bad things seem so much easier to remember. Don't fall into the trap. It will make you feel worse.
3. Sometimes stuff goes wrong even when you do the right things. You're NOT doomed or a loser, even if it feels that way at the time.

Answer 3

So stop paying taxes, stop being loyal, stop working hard, and then you will get some rewards! And become a bad person, and then good things will happen to you. So you see, if you simply reverse everything, then your luck will change. Seriously, isn't doing the right thing reward enough? What more do you want? More money? More sex? More friends? More what?

Answer 4

Don't look at all the bad things that are happening. Look around at what you have (not house,car,tv,etc). How is your life, are you housebound,have you all your mental abilities? I thought I had nothing but bad luck, BUT I have a wife that money couldn't buy (good job cause am poor). So I must have a bit of luck in places I didn't know about. You have the ability to talk to people all across the world. It's the 90% of the worlds good people that's keeping the world "civilised". Apart from that if you didn't get **** and still played the game I'd be on my own (and my wife).

Answer 5

Life is like the toss of the dice, we take it as it comes! I bet if you truly sat and took a good run through of your life, you could pin point all the little "miracles" that have happened in your life. I just like to call them miracles. Meaning all the little, and some big things that have happened, that have changed or made my life happy. It could be the smallest little thing! People seem to always remember the negative, because those are the hurtful, and painful feelings, that seem to stay with a person forever. Your feelings and emotions come within you, and for a person to feel OK with in them self, they need to feel that old gut feelin. You may be tired, and disgusted today, but I have a feeling your a good person and have a lot to be proud about if you were to think about it. Your rewards are many-your alive, and have your health right?

Answer 6

You can do all these things but if you are a part of an evil society, then you get the bad karma anyway!...

You want your reward??

Stop being a selfish, self serving, self obssesed ar*e wipes...and start being intelligent beings who understand that the world does not start at New York and end at San Francisco.

Consider that the US is not the best place in the world to live. It isn't.

Realise that the natural charm of American people works a whole lot better if it is not accompanied by arrogance...boasting...and stupidity.

I like America...Even more...I like American people.

Answer 7

Unfortunately luck is based more on a persons state of mind than anything else. If you believe your self to be lucky you will make your own luck. If you believe yourself to be cursed you will essentially curse yourself. Whether or not your a good person if you are feeling negative you will tend to make situations negative for yourself.

Answer 8

brother, don't seek rewards only on earth. there's something far more beautiful right around the corner. and then doing right things on earth even when it's tough and when there's not a reward "in sight" will pay off.

Answer 9

Someday you will be living off social security, married, and in love. Someday might not come fast enough for some of us, but you seem like a good guy. Good luck.

Answer 10

The luckiest people are usually those that believe they are and EXPECT good things.

If you believe you are lucky, you're right and will see the world as your oyster and focus on what DOES go your way.

If you believe you are UNlucky, you are also right, but will generally filter your paradigm of the world to reflect your misfortunes.

Answer 11

if you are looking for a pay back then you are doing good things for the wrong reason. Maybe you need to look deep into yourself and figure out what it is you want, and take another approach.
