“Don’t you ever get the feeling that all your life is going by and you’re not taking advantage of it? Do you realize you’ve lived nearly half the time you have to live already?”
- Ernest Hemingway
Remember that whatever Allah takes away from you, never belonged to you to begin with.
You are also not entitled to receive anything from Allah. Anything He gives you is purely out of His grace.
Everything belongs to Allah, including you.
Do you make regular du'a for what you want?
Not only does du'a bring Allah's blessings, it also serves to motivate you and remind you of your goals. "The most stingy person is the one who doesn't even make du'a!" [Hadith]
So don't be stingy...be generous with your du'as!
