The Easy Ways to Be Happy

There are always ways to be happy in this fake world with its pleasures and sadness inside. I would like to mention some of them, which I have read from a book “Don’t Be Sad” by DR. Aidh Abdullah al-Qarni, MA.

1.    Always remember ﷲ in every second of our breath. Keep on our mind that ﷲ always watching us wherever we are at anytime and everything. Thus, it’ll make us become more carefully at any of our behavior.

2.    Evaluate ourselves and be grateful to ﷲ. We can look behind and evaluate our mistakes and not to do the same in the future. Besides, we must be grateful for whatever ﷲ gives to us. We must believe that ﷲ has plans for us for our goodness even though we’re in bad and worse condition. When we’re in a bad condition, we must look over misfortune of other people. Thus, we’ll always be grateful and never be surrender. 

3.    Forget our pasts since they have gone forever. Don’t look behind too often for it’ll make us pessimistic, particularly over bad experiences. We must face our day with new spirit for doing goodness correctly and let our future comes by itself.

4.    We actually have only one day in our life. We never know whether we still live tomorrow or not. Past is our history, today is our life, and tomorrow is our mystery. Accordingly, we must do our best for doing goodness today in order to gain ﷲ bless and forgiveness. 

5.    Do anything for ﷲ sake only. Whenever we help people, study, work, and worship, we must do that for ﷲ sake. If we start doing something for ﷲ, we’ll do it our best and earn goodness someday.

6.    Do some businesses to erase boredom. Business in this case means whatever goodness we can do, kind of something useful and cause benefits for people.

7.    Always rememberﷲ  by Dzikir and praising ﷲ names (Asma Ul  Husna), then we’ll be in peace. ﷲ names are very beautiful and ﷲ loves people who always remember by praising His names. As the consequence, if we remember and love ﷲ, ﷲ will do the same, even more intensely.   

Ultimately, we will and are able to be happy and face our day better than previous days, Insya ﷲ. This discussion is subjected to be continued and thanks for reading.
