Gratitude | Words of Wisdom 🌟

Salam and hye guys!

Previously on my Words of Wisdom series I talk about HAPPY. Today, I want to talk about something that is very related with happiness which is GRATITUDE.

Years ago, during my my doomed years or "zaman kejatuhan" as I would like to call it, I notice that I was lack of gratitude before. I didn't realized how blessful my life is. My roommate said my life is like a fairytales. Maybe in her eyes, I have everything that she wanted. But I did not being grateful at all.

When I decided to be happy again at the end of 2014, I started to be grateful again. I started to notice every single details of my life. Now, I even have a specific journal just to list out everything I am grateful for. I write on my gratitude journal every once a week just to remind me how blessful my life is. Even if I have a bad week or a rough day, I will try to find at least one good thing that day.

I also read The Magic (The Secret #3) by Rhonda Byrne where she talks about how to get everything you want by being grateful and how to be grateful.

We need to be grateful in order for us to receive more. 💙 As Allah says in one of my favourite ayah in the Quran, "If you are grateful, I will surely give you more and more" (Ibrahim 14:7)

You have everything that you need now because Allah knows the best. Trust Him and starts counting your blessings. 💙
