Gratitude

 Of anything in this life, the importance of gratitude can't be mentioned enough, we find many reason to be grateful for every single thing in our existence, The beauty of being grateful is that more good comes to you, that's how this life works

Going to certain places like the hospital, prison and Cemetery really helps, Good health can't be overrated and in our society today we see lots of broadcast multiple times every single day, you'll think one should be used to it by now, but it hits me every time I see it, people suffering not because of their sins or Nothing but because it's meant to be and they still find a reason to be grateful.

I went to the Prison about a year and half ago and I can't forget what one woman an elderly woman of about 50 said, She said we won't know the importance of freedom till you're here and that we should avoid anything that'll lead us here, because it's the worst thing that can happen to human being, but that one should be grateful because it happened for a reason 

Going to the Cemetery gives you a different kind of chill, it runs down your spine to realize that people like us are here, in the ground, both during the heat of the Sun in Summer or the Cold in December

My point here is, in every situation you are, there's probably someone out there witnessing the same and more, and that being grateful doesn't mean you have all you ever wanted, but because in every situation there's that little line of positivity and optimism that should be focused on and that no matter how bad there's still a reason to be Thankful. 

The Prophet (SAW) said: *Look at those that are below you, and don't look at those above you, because you might not see the blessing and comfort of what Allah has bestowed upon you*

And Allah also said

Surah Ibrahim, Verse 7:

وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِي لَشَدِيدٌ

And when your Lord made it known: If you are grateful, I would certainly give to you more, and if you are ungrateful, My chastisement is truly severe.

With lots of love,
