Bismillahir rahmanir Raheem, wa salatu wa salamu ala arasolillah wa ala alihe wa ashabihe ajma'een,
I think gratitude to Allaah is one of the keys to obtaining the complete fulfillment that most of us tend to miss out on so often. I was sitting in the park the other day playing with my kids and I just watched how carefree they were. All they focused on was enjoying themselves while I was sitting there worrying about whether one of them was going to fall or get injured. That did not appear to be a concern for them. They climbed the many obstacles in front of them with laughter and excitement. They took them on with contentment and anticipation. I said to myslef now why don't I take on obstacles like that? Life is and can be as easy as we want as long as we go about it with the proper approach. I guess a similar approach to how my kids take on the park, lol.
