Comparing Ourselves!
I think one of the best exercises we can do is to compare ourselves with others from time to time!
Not In the way we usually think of comparing ourselves that's negative and of course we don't want to get into that! what i'm talking about is to compare ourselves favorable with others who are worse off than we are and to count our blessing when we see others who are suffering greater hardship than we are whenever we are temped to complain about what ever our problems are, it's very easy to find others with much greater problems than our .and if we take time for this little exercise in comparison, without exception we come out felling much better and very happy and thankful for all our blessing! We can even compare how things are for us now with how things were for us in the past and always come up with the feeling of being much better off today than we used to be. Perhaps not in every detail but generally speaking, or lives have become better and better!
I really think about whenever we are tempted to complain about anything at all, if we would start this little " Count Your Blessing" game immediately, we would come out shouting with joy for all the good we have.
Even with our worst problem, we can think of countless others who have worse problem than ours.No matter how bad off you are, you are always better off than millions of others, and this is the way we should always look at it, and not the other way around. When we think this way, we should always compare favorably, never unfavorable. If you look at those who seem to be better off than you, you'll go into the depths of d e s p a i r.
Actually, this is what we actually do when we complain, we,re looking at others who have got more than us, or thinking of ourselves at another time when we were better off. If we should think of all those who are worse off than we are, then it would be very difficult for us to murmur or complain about our lot, since there are many, many who are worse off than those who are better off!
This is what our Beloved Prophet RasoolULLAH Sallallahu Alayhi wassallam has taught us also to look at those who are less fortunate than us where worldly things are concerned so that our misery may vanish and our hearts be filled with contentment and deep gratitude to ALLAH ta'ala for all his countless blessing
Count your Garden By Flowers
Never By The Leaves That Fall
Count Your Days By Golden Hours...
Don't Remember Clouds at all.
Count Your Nights By Stars Not Shadows Forget That Life has Any Sorrows.
Count Your Life By Smiles Not Tears...
