Possibly because of confirmation bias. If you think only bad things can happen to you, then you only notice the bad things happening, which reinforces your ideas about only bad things happening to you, which sharpens your skill to see bad things happening. Rinse, repeat.

If you train yourself to see the silver lining or good things that happen, you can make it easier to think positive thoughts
