Assalamualaikum WaRahmatullahi WaBarakaatu,
I hope my post finds you all in the best of health and Spiritually inclined, Insha Allah.
I read the following on another forum and I thought of sharing it with you all.
I hope that we can get the intended message out if it, Insha Allah. I also pray that Allah the Exalted continues to guide all the misguided on to the straight path, and draw even closer to him those who are already guided, Insha Allah. Ameen

BLIND TO BLESSINGS
There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving husband. He was always there for her. She told her husband: 'If I could only see the world.'
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her husband. He asked her: 'How is it now that you can see the world?'
The girl looked at her husband and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to be with him.
Her husband left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'
This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.
Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.
Life Is a Gift!
Today Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to Allaah for a companion.
Before you complain about your children -Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
Before whining about the distance you drive - Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and thank Allaah you are still alive and have Islam.
I hope my post finds you all in the best of health and Spiritually inclined, Insha Allah.
