You’ll be in trouble when you take your eyes off your own path & look over at someone else's. You’ll get sucked into comparing your life with others & lose all sense of gratitude of the many blessings the Almighty has bestowed on you. Quick advice: don’t linger on social media!
One of the biggest challenges we face today is that of pride & arrogance. When we help someone, we feel good. But be wary of waiting for others to lavish praise on you. Don’t become big-headed. By all means get a pat on your back but the ultimate goal is to please the Almighty!
"As I look back on my life, I realize that every time i thought i was being rejected from something good; I was actually being redirected to something better. You must convince your heart that whatever Allah has decreed is most appropriate and most beneficial for you." [Ghazali]
When Allah closes any door for you, walk away and accept it. You never knew how many troubles lay behind that door had it remained opened for you.
So trust Allah with every decision He makes.
