Learn to Notice Small Things in Life

Stop demanding and fighting with your parents because they are unable to give you a big car same as your friends. At least you have a car! Learn to acknowledge that and try to be content with these things.

It is fine to strive to achieve the best, but that does not mean that you forget to see what you already have. Every time I go out at night, I only see the world in a rush.

Every single person is in a hurry to reach somewhere, and most of them are not even sure of their destinations. They just want to be better than their neighbour.

Appreciate

Ask a daughter-in-law, and she will tell you how it feels when the food she cooks is not appreciated by the new family. She is broken.

Furthermore, when people make fun of what she makes, she loses that confidence and courage that otherwise could have been instilled with few a positive comments.

So when a husband gets flowers for his wife or when a father gets a new pen for his daughter, don’t throw it away by saying, ‘Oh, this is nothing.

Basic phrases like, ‘thank you’, ‘wonderful’ and ‘this is awesome’ can make a big difference in the life of others.

I was expecting something big and more precious’. Appreciate and thank the person who is making an effort to make you happy. These are little gestures that are more valuable than the expensive jitters of lives.

Thank Allah

Stop making excuses for important things. It is very funny to hear from people that ‘hey, my sister was over, so I was unable to text you back’. Seriously? How long does it take to type a message? Similarly, how long does it take to thank Allah? It is just our way to have an easy way out of the situation by acting busy.

Wake up! It is time to face the truth. Try seeing life from different perspectives. You don’t like something; think about what you already have.

You want something better; think about its absence in the lives of the majority. Look at the brighter side of life, and then see how everything becomes better.

Stop complaining and assess situations from various angles. At times, it feels that the manner in which we behave is so wrong that we will pass on similar practices to our future generations.

Do we really want to see our kids snap back at us or leave us because of financial constraints? Or do we want children who are flexible enough to accept whatever they have? Sit back and take a look at your life.

Make a change and start looking at the positive side of life. As soon as you incorporate this change, trust me, Allah will not only load you with many blessings, but you will also live a life full of satisfaction and happiness.

Good luck!
