A strategy for avoiding regret
“If your wish is not fulfilled, consider, ‘I haven’t ever wanted such a thing! [Not to feel sad]. And if you lose something, tell, ‘I haven’t ever had such a thing!’”
Relieve your soul! Emotional distress leads humans to disbelief! Now, what is to make us happy?’ Imām Alī (pbuh) stated,
قُرَّةُ عَیْنِ فِیمَالا یَزول
(Nahj al Balāghah, Sermon 193)
It means the pious individual is happy with the immortal things; the eternal things enlighten their eyes.
