That seems to depend on the nature of the belief, though. Some people with a belief of fate seem to gain strength from it even during misfortune, thinking not “the universe is out to get me”, but something like “well I guess this was the universe’s way of [setting me on a better path / reminding me not to take for granted what I have / insert-some-other-benefit-here]”.
If you have sufficiently strong faith in the universe being benevolent, you can probably find some positive angle from any event and focus on that.
