What should we do to be happy?
Life is like a grand canvas, and it’s up to us to paint it with the colors of joy and contentment. We all have the right to happiness, and our hearts naturally long for it. But how do we find this bliss? Here are my thoughts on the subject.
First, happiness is a state of mind. This means that we have the power to choose to be happy. Life isn’t always easy, but our positive attitude and mindset can keep us steady through the challenges.
Think about it this way: one person believes that we have eyes to see the beauty in the world, while another thinks that eyes are only for crying. Both views are valid, but one is positive while the other is negative. If we focus on the positive, even small joys can feel huge. But if we’re negative, even the greatest luxuries won’t bring us happiness.
Islam teaches us to be grateful for our blessings. When we thank Allah for what we have, we feel happy and at peace.
Allah says in the Quran that if we are thankful, He will give us more (Ibrahim: 7).
So let’s appreciate the little things in life, like good health, friends, and good food.
We should also love ourselves and make time for our own happiness. This doesn’t mean being selfish or hurting others. We should also care about others’ happiness. Helping those in need can bring a deep sense of satisfaction.
It’s important not to compare ourselves to others. Everyone’s life and happiness are different. If we constantly compare ourselves to others, we’ll never be happy. We should accept ourselves as we are and not be envious of others’ success. Instead, let’s think that if someone is successful, they must have worked hard for it, and so can we.
Having faith in Allah is also important. Allah knows what’s best for us. If our prayers aren’t answered right away, it doesn’t mean that Allah is unhappy with us. Maybe He wants us to be patient or has something better planned for us.
In conclusion, happiness is a journey, not a destination. Allah always wants what’s best for us and knows what’s best for us. May Allah keep us all happy, Ameen! 🤲
