When bad things happen it's natural to feel bad about them, and those feelings are legitimate - not a result of our failure to prevent them. The trick is to give yourself room to be sad or mad without giving yourself license to endlessly wallow in it. Not that you have a problem with that! But don't beat yourself up about your attitude. If you're unhappy sometimes, it doesn't mean you're failing. Sometimes life just sucks. I don’t think it’s possible to have a positive attitude all the time.
