It can be extremely difficult to focus on the good when, seemingly, bad things are happening in your life.

If you think life is wonderful you will notice the wonderful things in your life, if you think life is shit you will find shit things about life. Change your thoughts and you literally change the world you are living in. First you have to recognise your destructive thinking pattern.
