Just remember, a true friend stabs you in the front.
I had a buddy that use to sign with that in year books...
Don't be so on guard though that you cant enjoy the easy street.

Yup, if you don't learn from the down times your loosing out because it's inevitable that they will come. Life is all about learning, and then you die
But hopefully you pass along as much knowledge as possible before you go.

when things go wrong, look at why you think so. if things go wrong and you feel negative about it, this is a good time to look at yourself and see how your ego is coming into play. this is a huge part in spiritual growth. then see if you can still be happy when reality doesn't go your way.
can you?
you are worthy bliss, and bliss is worthy of you. bliss is in the now, fuly, and unconditionally.
unconditionally love everyone including yourself. uncondtionally love everything, including your definition of wrong. this purely means acceptance. without full acceptance, love falls short.
preparing for the worst is thinking about the imagined future, what you cannot possibly know, keeping consciousness from the now around you, keeping you from bliss.
do you think we can always be happy even when things aren't going our way?
I do
-------------------- Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

Either way, there's a special way of looking at downs that i've been using a lot that actually makes them turn into ups. E.g. Stranded in the middle of town, but at least your lucky enough to have a bus pull up just now. Wow, aren't you lucky, now it's not really being stranded, but it's an adventure surrounded by good luck.
