Half-Full or Half-Empty?

The way I see things is usually directly connected to what is going on around me or in my life. This can be a good thing or bad thing. If I feel that stuff isn't going my way I will probably think nothing is going to go my way no matter what but if I feel that I am getting a lot of good bounces my way I will think everything will be beneficial to me. I would like to change this because if you look at the "misfortunes" of your life as just a road block it will eventually make you stronger and help you succeed. I have heard that bad things come in three's, so next time you are feeling like you are getting the short end of the stick just say to yourself it could be a lot worse and look at the bad stuff as a character-builder.
