Today is the last day of 2021.
So I feel very bad.
It seems that the memory of happiness and sorrow is involved with this year.
From today onwards and this year is leaving us forever.
The new year will start from tomorrow.
This 2021 will be past our life.
The mind cooed in pain at the thought of all this.
But then I comforted myself.
There is a very simple way to be happy in this world. Just stay present. This is not a difficult thing at all. Just hold life in the midst of the present. Look at the present very deeply, live with the present, enjoy the present moments.
Then the past will not be able to hurt us in any way.
The more we worry about the past and the more we worry about the future, the more unhappy you or I will be. Concerned neo-hippies and their global warming, i'll tell ya.
And it is by no means the work of intelligent people.
Instead, think of these as actions that you must take on a regular basis. Whatever happened, had to happen. We do not have the power to change anything.
Rather we can only try and work hard.
But Allah Ta'ala has the power to give results or rewards. So build the present. Make the present beautiful. Just live beautifully today.
Take what has happened in life. The more we accept life, the happier we will be.
So always be thankful to Allah, be calm with life, be happy, work with mind. Be happy. In this world and in the Hereafter you will find good.
