On doing things you don't like

Bismillah

Read something awesome from another blog. I just HAD to re-post it here. Original words from HERE.

"sometimes, we don't always get to do what we want. sometimes, we have to do what we can. it may be painful for a while, not getting or doing what we want, but somewhere along the line, we'll understand why we're not meant to get what we want, instead we get or do what we can. but, even so, doing something we can, that is relatively close to what we want, will somehow ease the unsatisfied feeling we have."

I totally agree with this. We can't get everything we want in life. It's a fact. No matter how rich or how clever you are, there's always something that you can't get. I see it as God's way of teaching us one thing: Humility.
I have lots of friends telling me about what they want and can't get. Truth is why not make the best of the situation? You're already stuck in it. So make a ball out of it. Enjoy what you are doing and cherish what you have.  Life's a game and we all want to win. ;)

Once your mind keeps wallowing in self pity about all the things you lack, you'll really be blind to the things you already have. When you're stuck doing something you don't like see it not as a chore but a step to be taken to getting the things you want. Even if you don't get what you want, it'll make doing the things you don't like so much more bearable and fun.

Ok. That's all for my zen-mode chatter.

Alhamdulillah
