Remember that life is temporary from "summary" of Don't Be Sad by Aaidh ibn Abdullah al-Qarni
Life is fleeting, my friend. It slips through our fingers like sand, leaving us grasping at memories and moments that are all too quickly gone. We often get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life, forgetting that our time on this earth is limited. We worry about trivial matters, stress over things that won't matter in the long run, and lose sight of the bigger picture. But when we stop and truly reflect on the transience of life, we begin to see things in a different light. We realize that the problems and challenges we face are temporary, that the pain and suffering we endure will eventually pass. We understand that no matter how difficult our circumstances may be, they are but fleeting moments in the grand scheme of things. This realization can be both liberating and humbling. It frees us from the shackles of worry and anxiety, allowing us to live in the present moment and appreciate the beauty of life as it unfolds before us. It reminds us to cherish the time we have with our loved ones, to savor every laugh, every smile, every hug. Knowing that life is temporary also serves as a reminder to prioritize what truly matters. It prompts us to focus on the things that bring us joy and fulfillment, to set aside petty grievances and grudges, and to live with gratitude and contentment in our hearts. It encourages us to make the most of our time on this earth, to leave a positive impact on those around us, and to strive for a life of purpose and meaning. So, my friend, remember that life is temporary. Let this knowledge guide you in your journey, shaping your perspective and influencing your actions. Embrace the impermanence of life, and you will find peace, wisdom, and a deep appreciation for the precious gift of existence.
