I have always had a black cloud over my head. Everything good I do get countered with 2 or 3 bad things. I cant seem to get out from under it. I do good things but it seems like I just cant seem to get ahead. Please help

You have the right approach…Put more good out into the Unvierse, knowing that what you do will come back to you three times over. However, it can be frustrating to feel like you are doing good things and getting repaid with pain and suffering.

Try not to be discouraged and keep you Faith. In the meantime, make a list (yes, actually take out a piece of paper and write it down) of the good things that happen to you. You can make a list of the bad things too if you want to, but it probably isn’t necessary. It’s just human nature to remember the bad things and forget the good.

Look at your list of good things that have happened every day when you wake up and start the day with a prayer or centering ritual focusing on the good things in your life. This will not necessarily keep bad things from happening to you; sometimes, we just get rained on. But it will help you to be more aware of the good things in your life.

It seems like a cliche, but the truth is that our outlook on the world around us can make things seem better or worse than they are. The same traffic delay can be something you shrug off or something that ruins your day depending on your attitude. Reminding yourself every morning of the good things in your life can help you find other good things in your life and appreciate them.
