A good life is a happy life. How can u attain a happy life?
Be thankful to Allah all the time, try to point out good things in something bad. e.g. when I got diabetes at a very young age, my wife was scared, since you know the bari buris of her family were of the view that he is not going to survive long. I on the other hand was happy that i got diabetes in an era when things like Insulin are available. I am thankful to Allah (SWT) for the insulin. Try to find positive things!!! When you eat your favorite fruit be thankful to Allah for such a tasty fruit. When you look at things like plants enjoy the colours, the shade of greens in one leaf. When you eat Nihari be happy to be born in a Pakistani family where you can enjoy such a tasty thing.
