Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from knowingly associating partners with You in any way, and I seek Your forgiveness for that which I do not know. Ameen.
Being grateful is an expression of one's feelings and heart to God, when facing an event in his life. Gratitude produces positive energy that can give encouragement and encouragement within us. Therefore, being grateful can make us more able to interpret every event that we experience, whether it is good or bad, lucky, or unfortunate. Gratitude also makes us stronger in dealing with the twists and
turns of life. Sometimes it is difficult to do, but if practiced continuously will become a good habit.
Understanding Gratitude
Gratitude has meaning in the class of verbs, so gratitude can be interpreted as expressing an action, existence, experience, or other dynamic understanding. It can be concluded that gratitude is an expression of gratitude. Another meaning of gratitude is to give thanks. For example, I am grateful that he can be saved from death.
Grateful for Success and Failure
No one really wants to fail in their career path. But if it must happen, we should also be aware of it and we should be grateful. Because it teaches us to appreciate the success we have achieved.
In addition, when we get success, we do not become arrogant and arrogant. Because there is something more fantastic in our lives, namely the pleasures of life that we have felt.
If we experience failure, always remember that there are other ways to be more successful. The important thing is to always try and work hard, never give up even though you must experience various failures.
In fact, success and failure always give color to our lives. Imagine if our life path was always flat and straight, it would be very boring. Surely you can't imagine right?
Grateful for the Health Condition of the Body
Is there anyone in this world who wants himself to be in pain and lie down helplessly?
Of course not!
What exists is that everyone wants to be healthy as much as possible so they can move freely. Everyone is even competing to follow a healthy lifestyle that is usually suggested by health practitioners. But the fact is that our bodies have limitations, so that at some point our bodies can experience a decline, weaken and become sick. When we are sick, it is usually not only the body part that is
affected by the disease, but also our own thoughts and feelings.
We find it difficult to move and go everywhere, even just to eat, our bodies cannot accept it. Not infrequently sick people have their own mental burdens, especially when they must receive services from other people (wife or other family members) because of the illness they are suffering from.
Faced with such a situation, we need to build an attitude of gratitude. Although it is difficult to say from our mouths, but we must be grateful in any condition.
The question is, why should we be grateful even when we are sick?
Actually the reason is simple, when sick means we are reminded to maintain a lifestyle. And for those who care for the sick, it is an opportunity that God has given us to pay attention to those who are weak and suffering.
When we are healthy and even sick we can give color to life in the community and in the family. For that, be grateful at all times, both when we are healthy but also when we are sick.
Wallahualam.
