Sometimes you might not get what you want in life. You may expect certain things to happen, yet, without the permission of Allah, none of it can take place. Instead of seeing it as loss, think of it as a gain. Allah may not grant you what you asked for, because He has a better plan for you. He may not have given you that thing you prayed for day and night, because He knows that it is bad for you, and so He wants to protect you from any harm. Trust in Allah completely, like a bird who sets off in the morning in search for food and comes back with ample provision for itself and its family. Allah will provide for you too. Just know that where you are in life right now, is exactly where He wants you to be. Be patient, for good things come to those who wait.
