I'm a big believer in Karma, so....
In some cases bad events in ones life are not a result of "doing something wrong".
Sometimes you have to take a step back, assess your life and see what you can do to make changes to improve your life.
Example:
A fellow CEGer was having all kinds of bad luck - friendships, financially, SVT, etc.
Based on everything I knew, I told him if I were in his shoes:
1. don't focus energies the car
2. focus on maintaining/improving/developing relationships with family and friends
3. stop spending money on your car
4. get a beater or sell the SVT
5. be more frugal with money
6. get out of debt
Now he's out of debt, working out regularly, lost weight, feels good, happy, saving money for a place of his own, etc. etc. etc.
Was he doing anything "wrong"? Not in my opinion. He just needed to step back, take a look at his life and re-establish his priorities.
Sorry for the "preaching".
