Lenses of Scarcity

 I just watched Aida Azlin (a motivational youtuber) latest video, about the importance of being grateful by switching our lenses. 

She said, we, as human beings often miss the importance of being grateful because we are so used to see the world through the lenses of scarcity, when we should place it with the lenses of abundance. 

Of course, sometimes life would be tough to the point that we cannot see the good in every sides of the story. But just think about it. The worst calamity one could ever face is spiritual distantness, so we need to always ask ourselves, "Does my problem effect my spiritual well-being?" If yes, it is never too late to come back and if no, you should be grateful that it is a test that will bring you closer to Him. 

Besides, when things are not looking so good, just remember all the small but powerful blessings Allah is giving us at the current moment. For instance, if someone came up to you with a million dollar for your right eye, you wouldn't do so, right?

Every blessings Allah has given us are meant to be used for the right purpose. So, live your purpose according to the rule of Allah S.W.T, and by then, you would notice that every hardships, does come to an ease.
