Reframing a Struggling Mindset

Are you struggling with life right now?

Here’s a great quote I once read when I was under a great deal of stress, which reframed my mindset completely.

“When heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on any man, it will exercise his mind with suffering, subject his sinews and bones to hard work, expose his body to hunger, put him to poverty, place obstacles in the paths of his deeds, so as to stimulate his mind, harden his nature, and improve wherever he is incompetent.

- Meng Tzu (Mencius), fourth century BCE

There is a reason behind EVERYTHING.

Don’t despair, and try to find the meaning in it insha’allah. And, if you can’t find the meaning in it, don’t let it hinder your growth nor make you doubt there’s a wisdom behind everything.

Remember, Allah says in the Qur’an:

“Perhaps you dislike something which is good for you and like something which is bad for you. Allah knows and you do not know.” (2:216)

May Allah make it easy for all of us, ameen!
