everything happens for a reason(?)

I never realy believed that everything happend for a reason. I thought i was just having so much bad luck and got less and less happier with my life at the moment. But then I started to think about it. I tried to think of something positive that came with every single bad thing that happend to me and around me. I felt much happier then I did before. Maybe everything doesn't happen for a reason at all and maybe I'm wrong. But this mindset does make you think about all the good stuff in life and it makes you a lot more happy and positive. Now I don't even have to force myself to think about the positive side off my problems. I got used to it and I see positivity in almost everything. Sure, the pain and problems don't go away but they will be less painful and you will live a happier life.
