Life always brings joy and hardship that cannot be separated. However, true happiness is not determined by the situations we face, but by how we respond.
Stay Positive In Any Situation
How amazing is the affair of a believer! All of his affairs are good, and this is not the case for anyone except the believer. If something good happens to him, he is grateful, and that is good for him. If something harmful happens to him, he is patient, and that is good for him.

Muslim. (2018) Sahih Muslim. Translated by A. Hameed Siddiqui.Being Grateful Reduces Depression and Anxiety
Various studies show that practicing gratitude not only makes people happier and more optimistic, but also improves their physical and psychological health. Those who make gratitude a habit tend to be more mentally positive, and the good news is, gratitude can be practiced to boost emotional well-being and reduce depression and anxiety.
Patience Isn't Just About Waiting, It's the Foundation of Character and Success
Patience cultivates mature thinking, good character, and ethical action. Its impact extends beyond personal quality to long-term success. Moreover, patient people tend to be more fair, trustworthy, and concerned with the well-being of other people, not just personal gain.
Beyond that, patience also directly impacts happiness, as it helps people control their emotions during stress, handle disappointment better, and maintain positive relationships with others.
In Surah Ar-Rum: 60, Allah says: " So be patient, for the promise of Allah certainly is true. And do not be disturbed by those who have no sure faith."
