Am I Missing Something?

I'm reading this book title "Trusting Yourself." Basically, the premise is that you have everything you need to trust yourself within. It's just a matter of finding it. The book also suggests that if you believe in happiness...if you see the world as happy and friendly, then you will find more happiness. Sounds simple, right? Not so much.

My motto for the new year is 2008 is gonna be great. Well, I'm still waiting for the greatness to being. My business is going nowhere. My love life has failed miserably. My health has been bad and I'm really starting to feel sorry for myself. I keep on trying to get myself out of this funk. I keep waiting for my enthusiasm to increase, but it's just not happening.

I find myself wondering why me? How much sadness and bad luck can one person stand in a lifetime. Wouldn't you think that eventually I'd get a rainbow after all this rain.

Need help!
