'Appreciate
what you have before it becomes what you had.' :)
الحمدُ لله من قبل و من بعد .. ِAppreciation and gratitude. It's a lesson
I learnt the hard way and still suffering its consequences. Regret and pain are alienating. Contrary to what most people believe, regret and pain most of the
times doesn't leave. It stays here. And like it or not, you just get used to
living with it. :) Sometimes it is too little too late and you must learn from
your unfortunate decision. What screws a person up is trying to live up to
image they create in their minds. There is no such thing as perfect, only
perfect for you.
You may not realize it, but these days may be your happiest days in life and you're too busy dwelling on the imperfections of them to be grateful to Allah for them or to even enjoy them for yourself. Allah reminds us really fast sometimes, when we think things are bad, what "bad" can really look like. Don't wait for your blessings to be taken away from you to thank Allah for them. Life will never be perfect, but this may be as good as it will ever get for you. What you have now was once everything you strove to attain. Appreciate all the things you have in life because you never know when that time will end. Clear the clutter inside your mind and realize what you have right now. Don’t wait until you've lost it to finally see how much you took it for granted. Don’t wait until you realize that without it, your foundation to make it through each day begins to crumble.

Too many
times people don’t realize what they have because they are out there looking
for something better. The problem is that when they do realize it, they will
come crawling back. Everyone falls into the trap that the grass is always
greener on the other side. People make mistakes, it’s part of human nature.
People constantly want something more, something new, but sometimes the most
valuable things are what have been with us at all times. Just because something
isn't happening for you right now does not mean that it never will. Happiness
will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have. Just
like you don’t know what you have until it’s gone, you don’t know what you've
been missing until it arrives. :)
