Happiness is a choice:

Struggle with negative thoughts:

Fear is the most powerful negative emotion. It may be fear of failure, fear of confrontation, fear of powerlessness. It always hinder in your way. Question is what is the source of it? Why negative thoughts and emotions come? The reason is it may be injustice, either injustice is done by your parents, society or someone else. You carry those thoughts and grow in your mind but after that those thoughts become ghost for you and you started afraid from very little things. Same things happen with me. When I was in my childhood I faced worst circumstances because our relatives come to our house to humiliate us. They hated and look down us just because we were poor. They were envious to us because we study intently and eagerly. I was in a rage when i saw them and at the same time I feared from them. I controlled myself at that time but these thoughts reaped in my mind. I wanted to come out of them but there were no guidelines, no medium. I have a dire need of some materials apart from books of colleges which could help me. So now I have found some ways from TED talk of Shawn Achor which Insha Allah will prove beneficial for me.

First I want to say thanks to Amal team then Shawn who changed my perception because I had made happiness difficult for me. Now I will try to keep myself happy. We have a lot of ways to be happy but I will mention here just 3 or ways

  1. I will say thanks to my parents more because due to their efforts I became Engineer.
  2. I will always offer my prayer (meditation) on time because it gives me spiritual tranquility.
  3. I will keep continue small acts of kindness because it fulfill and satisfy me inwardly.

Gratitude:

I have shown my gratitude by sending a thank you email to Amal alumni.

I always thanks to my Allah almighty whatever he has given to me. I want to say thanks to Amal team who has given us such a lovely environment for learning.

Random acts of Kindness:

I do many small kind acts such as forgive someone, fulfill need of someone by money etc.
