What do you do when everything going your way seems to go wrong?

Question

How do you deal with it?

Sorry Popartangel. By that I mean, no matter how hard you try to resolve life's difficulties, it still does not work out right. I apologise if this sounds negative.

Answer 1

I try to keep busy. In three years, i have lost my job, my daughter (car wreck), have become disabled, son has gone to jail and he also has Graves Disease, a husband who drinks and another son that does, filing bankruptcy, but I keep telling myself sometime it will get better.
I blog, I take pictures, I cook, I read, anything to keep me going. I try to be with people as much as possible. I have my pets.
Things will clear up someday. I always say there is light at the end of the tunnel. I have also learned that "God's Will be Done" I can not change anything, so I deal with it the best I can as it comes along.

Answer 2

I was not quite sure if i have understood your question right.
Do you mean that everything seems to be going wrong or do you mean that the way your life seems to be going you are heading in the wrong direction?

I write a journal so that i can focus on the things that have gone right for me. Sometimes we can forget things that have gone right when overwhelmed by the things that have gone badly.

I try to work out why things have gone wrong and if i can change any of them i do and take it as a learning experience if i cant change it i have to accept it and move on or change my attitude towards it.

Sometimes life can take us down a different path than the one we were expecting but in the end we realise that the new road we are offered may be better than our original path so i keep an open mind and go with the flow and see where it takes me.

I know when things dont feel right because everything goes dark and dismal whereas when things feel right i can see the way forward even if it is tough and there are obstacles to overcome. I dont spend too long banging my head against a brick wall it is painful and does not do any good in the long run.

I try to motivate myself when things go badly but reminding myself why i am doing it and looking at how i could achieve it or if i cant what alternatives i could find.

Another thing i have been taught to stop myself from worrying is will it be important in 100 or 1000 years time if not it is not that important and wont be long term.

I was not sure if you meant that the path you are walking always seems to involve doing risky things or things people dont approve of. I think in that case you would need to examine why you do them what you are getting out of it.

Hope this helps.

I think, things always go wrong, but when you are feeling great you just dont notice it as much. When people feel bad they let things bother them and they notice just how much stuff is wrong in their lives. The trick is to only notice the good things and build on that. Remember anyone at any given time can find atleast one thing wrong in their life. Feeling sorry for yourself is too easy, try lifting yourself up and tell yourself how good of a person you are. Oprah said make a list of your good qualities and every morning read it and remind yourself .

Answer 4

Pray about it and know that these things happen for a reason and know that you will learn from it and become a better person. When you begin to blame others or even God for all of the bad things in your life you get absolutely no where. If you are patient with your situation you will see that it is a good learning experience.

**If you always do what you have always done, then you will always get what you've got.**

Answer 5

Put things in perspective. Chances are high, not everything is wrong. There are some right things. Then focus on what I can control vs. stuff that I can influence and stuff I have not control over. Focus on the controllables first then work on the influence stuff. Stop worrying about the things out of my control.
Make sense?

Answer 7

I realize that every moment I dwell on what went wrong is a missed opportunity to do something right to correct it. Its in the past it cant be changed I need to learn from it fix it if possible and keep looking ahead to avoid the next bump in the road.

Answer 8

i felt the same way but its always best to stop chasing after these things and let them come to you. the harder you search for happiness the further it seems to go away but if you turn your back on it for just a while it will come to you. your going through a bad stage at the moment but just remember everything happens for a reason and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Answer 9

trust God and pray to him wholeheartedly.Believe your self that you are the best person and better than any one else.Think positive,meet people with people you trust.Things do go wrong in life .world is not going to change u can change your self .it is up to u to make or break.It is always the positive thinking and beliving your self.Tell us what is gone wrong or what happen so we all can help and share the problem.sharing is half done.tell us more.good luck.
