Should I push through it or let it push me?

Hi there mylot chums!
I seem to be plagued lately with, I don't wanna call it bad luck, but let us say negative energy flow. For years I have been talking about, and dreaming about opening my own Pole dance Fitness Studio. Well my bus partner and I were supposed to get it going by mid June. Well end of May I broke my left hand. My dominant poledancing hand, and had to sit it out for a month. It des not however seem to havhealed right and is still giving me pain, and swelling when I tax it too much. Not to mention the stiffness and loss of flexibility to the joint.
How did I break it you wonder? Washing dishes. Was puting away plates, slipped in some water on the tile floor, and slammedthe hand into the kitchen counter. I then added insult to injury the following week, using it when I shouldn't have, helping with a wall paper removal. More puddled wet, slip, bam, land on the hand that I didn't want casted because I needed to use it. The that weekend, 4 or 5 days later, was outside painting my stage on one of the few non windy days we have here. Long story short, stumbled, slipped in the wet paint (3 coats) and went down, boom, on the hand again, and pulled a muscle in my hip for good measure while I was at it.
Then somehow I bruised my thigh while practicing with my friend and pushing to get in shape before we open. Bruise about the size of a silver dollar, actually a bit bigger, and so deep that two weeks later it is just beginning to fade away. So now that it is almost gne I can get back on filming our commercials and promotional videos. Finally yesterdy while practicing noted that my right shoulder was stiff and sore in an odd spot. Turns out to be a pinched nerve that has been paining me ever since.
My question for you is, Is this to be my story of triumph over adversity or is something trying to stop me from attaining my dream. And if the energy is against me attaining my dream, should I give up and quit, when people are counting on me to come through or push through it?

i say GO FOR IT!! see at the end of the day, we make our own way, and our own luck in this world. i'm quite a lucky person, i never seem to get into trouble, always seem to get into bother, always seem to find or get money from somewhere when i'm broke, but i completely lack ambition and drive, something you clearly have.. why let bad luck bring you down, when it could be worse, you could have good luck like me and have nothing to show for it! lol!

Good or bad luck it is all realative. Whether something is good or bad is subjective and largely depends upon your perspective. Whether a specific turn of luck has a positive or negative effect upon your life and your psyche that frames the occurrence as "good" or "bad". Sometimes negative things happen to good people and though on the surface they may look negative their long term effect upon your life turns out to be a positive.
The way I see it is this, something is trying hard to have a negative effect on my opening my studio, with all the pressure it is applying I must be playing for some huge rewards as the rewards normally are equal or greater than the stumbling blocks that life will throw in your path.

maybe your fear or reluctance, or your feeling of not suceeding, is blocking your own path? yet you are putting it down to something ELSE having a negative effect on it? maybe as you say, it's your on psyche doing the damage?

Don't you dare give up on your dream!! you obviously have the talent and the drive to make a real success of yourself so I believe you should go for it. Start your business and prove to the world that you are able to triumph over this bad luck! Bad things happen sometimes but I don't think that should stand in your way of making a success of yourself.
