Allah memewahkan rezeki bagi sesiapa yang dikehendakiNya, dan Ia juga yang menyempitkannya. Dan mereka (yang ingkar): bergembira dengan kehidupan dunia, sedang kehidupan dunia itu tidak lain, hanyalah kesenangan yang kecil dan tidak, kekal berbanding dengan kesenangan hari akhirat.
In this life it is SO easy to switch between being happy and upset at things.
Maybe I'll wake up on the wrong side of bed and feel moody, then feel much better after a nice breakfast but feel upset again because the weather is too cold but feel happy because I met up with good friends, then feel upset again because I felt socially drained at the end of the day, then feel happy because my bed is comfy.
