Do not be upset...

Insaan is selfish. He likes to oppress. He keeps what is his and he likes to take whatever is yours. And when he takes, he takes it greedily. However, Allah Ta’ala takes one and He gives you ten. He puts you in a small difficulty to reward you enormously. Try sacrificing this one life that you have, He will grant you the joy that millions and millions of lives also cannot grant you. 

You should not be upset when you are in a difficulty because you have a boss who loves you and you have His support at every instant. Think of him in your pleasant moments, He will think of you in your difficult moments. And in your difficult moments, you have only one door to knock at, which is certain. It is the door of our Rabb and our true beloved, Allah Ta’ala!
