No one is immune to negative things happening in one's life. The first thing that we often do, is ask ourselves why this happened, why someone would do that. And then we get stuck in "whysville". When our minds are totally preoccupied with figuring out why something has happened, we continually jab ourselves with the pain of the event---it throws us into the past. If we can move to asking "how", "how" will I deal with this, "how" will I turn this into a positive, "how" can I make this better--then we are talking. We suddenly start moving into the present and thinking about a more positive future.
Yes, it is important to problem identify, but even more important to problem solve. Turn your "why's" into "hows".
