The Expression of Gratitude

I really want to become a grateful person whatever happens to me. I noticed that I really lack of gratitude, I always complain and rant the things that I should not appreciate, however it is only my feeling towards that which is not 100% true of the reality. 

I had learnt how gratitude can diminish stress and ungrateful feeling. Whenever I get depressed, I have to force myself to write down all the things impossibly can be denied to appreciate for. I had learnt the impact of being thankful when you decide to take it. Gratitude is all about your attitude, how do you perceive and react upon what happens in your life. Not everything that you can deliberately control. You're not god which has unstoppably control upon everything. You as human being just have to rely on Him, put thorough trust on Him, let His blessings and bounties come to you, protect and shield you, it is 'barakah' that we should always hope to have. 

I realized that I'll typically start off complaining when I saw what people have undelibrately, I'm being tried to overlook them then wishing it if I become that or those people, I might be happy. 

I would start off ranting about what I didn't have and start to point them out, even at the end I will compare my life with the luxurious things people have. And I will be more shallow, then of course it just double down your condition getting bad. You have to stop this game!

Here's what I'm gonna do:

In every ungratitude comes up, I have to recognize that it's just a feeling, you don't need to come along with attitude. Stop it then go to my blog and start to write down all the things you should appreciate more such as water and air are still available for me. So that by saying that, you'll get ttriggered to appreciate more automatically. I always compare between what I don't have and people have. 

It is fine, dude. Life is not comparison. Life is just about competing to have better afterlife. The best preparation for that is nothing other then struggling to be righteous person or muttaqiin. 

Tomorrow is fryday. I will start my morning with dzikir or remembrance of Allah. Of course in the transliteration of dzikir, there also contains about gratitude such as all praises to Allah who created heaven and earth by His will. 

Then around 10, I will do exercise. 

I also want to read the history of Rasulullah, memorizing quran.
