Why Are We Unsatisfied With Life?

Why are we unsatisfied with life? Why aren’t we thankful for what are blessed with? Why the one who has a cycle aspire for a bike? A biker needs a car? The one who owes a house needs a villa? Why are we so un-grateful for what are blessed with?

It would not be wrong to conclude that we’ve turned ourselves into the wildest braggarts of the environment, who can’t live a peaceful life.

We have brought restlessness in our lives because we aren’t satisfied with it and aspire for more money and all the luxuries of life. But believe me even after getting all this we can’t be satisfied. Actually we can never be satisfied with money or luxuries because there is no relationship between happiness and luxuries.

Have we ever noticed while driving our S class Mercedes, that there is a person who owns a second hand bike? In fact when a bike passes by us on a road, we feel proud of ourself instead of thanking Allah Almighty for what He has blessed us with. Why? Because we are social dullard who can be the most jealous specie on earth instead of being the most satisfied and thankful one.

Those live in houses and feel that they have unsatisfied lives, do an activity today and go out of the comfort of home and observe the people who are living on the roads. If you have food to eat and still feel unsatisfied with life, just go and see those who have nothing to eat.

The solution to this jealousy is unsatisfied life is easy:

Our Prophet(S.A.W) narrated that:

“Look at the people beneath you (in wealth and worldly affairs) and do not gaze the ones above you (in this matter). By this, you will not underestimate the bounty of Allah bestowed upon you.” (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)

My message to you:

Dear Human Being, Life is short! So just stop focusing on what others own and what they have better than you. Enjoy your lives for what you’ve been blessed with. And for us the biggest satisfaction and blessing is that we are from the Ummah of Prophet ( P.B.U.H).

Believe me you’re blessed with the best.

Do a small exercise today

Take a pen, paper and write down all the noticed and un-noticed blessings you have that you take for granted. This will help us in appreciating more for what we have.
