Surrounded by doom and gloom

How in the world are you suppose to get in a Happy Zone when you are surrounded or should I say incased in a cloud of gloom and doom? The answer may not be clearly seen but unless you look for it you will never find it. You wouldn't feel doomed or always gloomy if you flushed out those negative thoughts and gave positive thoughts room to get in. A change in your life can only happen if something changes.
