Shaikh A'id al Qarni gave us the following advice in his book La Tahzan (Don't be sad)

If you are stricken by poverty...others are chained in debt
If you don't have shoes ... others have no feet
If you have committed a mistake...correct it - the doors of repentance ever open!
The fountain of forgiveness is ever rich
So dont be sad, let all bygones be bygones

What is predestined for you, you shall see it happen

Being sad will not change anything
So dont be sad
Sadness spoils your life
So dont be sad
Supplication is your shield
Prayer is your beacon
So dont be sad
Prostrration is your means ...
So dont be sad

See how vast is the Earth, How nice are the gardens and forests
How bright are the stars - all are happy but you are sad...
So dont be sad

You have sweet water to drink - fresh air to breather - feet to walk with
You sleep safely in your bed
So dont be sad

Every cloud has a silver lining
After long nights come the bright sun
Life will soon give you a smile
So be ready to get it
And dont be sad!

Real life is that spent in happiness
So cross out your sad days from your age! Peace of mind is the real treasure

Abu Hurayra reported Allaah's Messenger (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said: "Look at those who are inferior to you and do not look at those who are superior to you, for that is more likely to keep you from despising Allaah's favour on you"

:jazaak: my dea brother for sharing this wonderful advice.Indeed life is short and there is no time in it for sadness,worrying,anxiety and anguish :)
You know brother,when I was walking on the road one day suddenly I remembered this verse الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ فِرَاشًا وَالسَّمَاءَ بِنَاءً[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling [2:22]
I wondered,how could I ever walk on this land if I didn't have feet or if gravity increased or if friction decreased.Allah gave it all to us,without us askng for it,Alhamdulillah.From the time we are in our father's loin to the time we will be resurrected and insha'Allah we will enter Jannah(may Allah make us of them.Ameen),We are constantly under Allah's mercy.The egg is fertilzed by just one sperm,out of millions ,Allah's mercy!The baby inside mother's womb(rahm),grows as a foreign body in an environment by which Allah provides for it,Allah's mercy!SubhanAllah!Then we come to this Earth weak and frail ,Allah makes us survive,Allah's mercy!Allah provides us with such a friendly environment and blesses us with provisions and family and friends,Allah's mercy!Then if we die as believers(may Allah make us one of them.Ameen),Allah sends angels to give us glad tidings and to tell us not to fear or grieve,Allah's mercy!Then insha'Allah,He will cause us to enter jannah by His mercy!
وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي صَدَقَنَا وَعْدَهُ وَأَوْرَثَنَا الْأَرْضَ نَتَبَوَّأُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ نَشَاءُ ۖ فَنِعْمَ أَجْرُ الْعَامِلِينَAnd they will say, "Praise to Allah , who has fulfilled for us His promise and made us inherit the earth [so] we may settle in Paradise wherever we will. And excellent is the reward of [righteous] workers."[39:74]
