I see too many people blaming God for everything that goes wrong in their lives. To me, that is a sure sign of weakness. Your happiness starts with you, it's not anyone else's problem. Your happiness starts with you. If you feel cheated, deflated or devastated, you need to take a step back and see if you've done everything you can to make yourself happy. Surround yourself with people you love, and with those who love you. Do things you're good at. Go to places where you feel like you belong.
I'm not saying it's bad to feel hurt, everybody has. You'd be surprised to know the people who you think are the strongest, are the people that have felt the most pain...I can actually guarantee that. They do their very best, and give everything they have to give. They embrace the love in their lives, and let go of the things they can't change. They know what they are capable of and accept themselves with the knowledge that they've got a remarkable, unique mission on Earth.
Moral of the story: If you ever come to me feeling bad for yourself, I'm going to ask you if you tried to make yourself happy. (Hint: usually to make yourself happy, you go straight to making someone else happy. That's a quick-fix.)
If you've done your best, you can be sure of yourself. It's whether you actually believe it or not.
