*.:..:.* VALUE WHAT IS YOURS! *.:..:.* The owner of a small business met a poet friend and asked him: Poet friend, I need to sell my SMALL farm, the one you know so well. Could you please write an announcement for me for the paper? Poet friend wrote: For sale, a beautiful property, where birds sings at dawn in extensive woodland, bi-sected by the brilliant and sparkling waters of a large stream. The house is bathed by the rising sun. It offers tranquil shade in the evening on the veranda. Some time later, the poet met his friend and asked whether he has sold the property? To which he replied: I have changed my mind. When i read what you had written, I realized the treasure that was mine. Sometimes we underestimate the good things we have, chasing after mirages of false treasures. We often see people letting go of their children, their families, their spouses, their friends, their professions, their knowledge-accumulated over many years, their good health, the good things in life. They throw out the window what Allah has given them so freely, things which were nourished with so much care and effort. Look around, appreciate what you have: Your home, your loved ones (spouses and family), friends on whom you can really count, the knowledge you have gained, your good health, and all the beautiful things in life, that are truly most precious treasure. We can no longer shower kindness on those we love, after they have died. It is useless to want to re-do the work that we may have done negligently. It is best to appreciate and do things well now. Ask Allah at every moment that our problems and concerns never degenerate into feelings of sadness and anxiety. Be in union with Allah, who will provide courage needed to be certain in victory in the struggle, because Allah will give in abundance what we need. We are all imperfect. - Always praise and value your family. - Do all you can to make it even better. - Always praise and value your work- companions. - See what you can do to improve your environment. Instead of isolating yourself, because of weakness and failure, seek to invest in true and constructive friendship in your life. Faith in Allah is necessary to strengthen self-esteem in dealing with daily problems. My wish for you: Be with Allah and may Allah be with you. Ameen.
