Stop trying to play the blame game. If you feel like you always have bad luck, a lot of it could be your own doing. You may not even realize it. If you have done any of these things, you may need to reevaluate your thoughts and beliefs.
10. You constantly whine. Whining about things only attracts more things for you to whine about. Everybody gets annoyed by whiners, God included.
9. You overlook the good things when they do happen. For example, I'm assuming you woke up this morning or else you wouldn't be reading this. It is a good thing that you woke up and didn't die in your sleep, right? RIGHT? I would hope you would consider it a good thing anyway.
8. You sometimes wonder if God even cares. Maybe you should thank Him or Her every now and then for the good things instead of whining about the bad things. You could start by being thankful for waking up this morning.
7. You utter the words "Ohhh that lucky @#$% makes me so mad!" whenever you hear about some one else having good luck. Perhaps if you tried being happy for them instead of jealous or angry, you could invite something similar to happen to you.
6. You worry too much. The more you worry, the less faith that you have that every thing will truly be all right. How can you expect to get any where in life with no faith or confidence? Let it go. Relax.
5. You work more than you play. It makes you dull. Life isn't meant to be dull, and it especially isn't meant to be "all work and no play".

Accepting an apology.
By: bj | 22-07-2008
My 60 year old sister in law told my 25 year old son that he was conceived before marriage. She shared this with him during a social event, giggling and covering her mouth as if she just told a dirty secret.
He was embarrassed and humiliated. He does not understand why she used that forum to share this with him. Our relationship is solid and unaffected by her act.
She has sent me a letter of apology and I am struggling with the acceptance. I believe she is sorry. I know I must forgive.
