Assalamualaikum.
Im currently reading dale carnegie’s book on how to stop worrying and start living. Sure, there’s bunch of things he wrote and i wont go on babbling here. Go have a read for yourself.
Anyhow, i do have some points worthy to share or if i could call it as the gist of the book. It is not much of a book really, better for a manual. Yup, a manual when you can always go to if you need it.
1. Live in a day tight compartment
This point meant a load to me. It says, when you pray to God, ask for a bread a day. Only for that day. No worries anout tomorrow’s bread or next week. Just ask for the day. This is a thoughtful idea where it proves if you do this, you simply eliminates fear. Fear causes anxiety which leads to stress and depress. Not so positive things, right?
As a Muslim, i take it that when we pray Dhuha every morning, ask Allah to ease our matters for that single day. I tried it and feel so relieved and yeah, it is a good thing. Come on, we all have our fears in life and those are the unseen things that make us frightened for days to come. We might not feel happy or having the spirit to live our life. But i tell you, if this happens, take a deep breath and surround yourself with good people, environment, read and listen to good stuffs. Dont waste your breath or time for negativity.
Living in a day tight compartment-think of you only have that day to live, how would you spend it? The best, right? There’re many evidences of sick people given no hope to live decided to spend the rest of their lives fully, and they healed later on. Or if they dont, at least, they appreciate every single day of their live.
We unfortunately often forget the blessings around us and lamenting on what we dont have instead of being content with what we have. Appreciate every single day in our life and I guarantee you’ll be a better person with no anxiety what will happen next. As they say, follow the flow 😘
