The message in this episode might sound counterintuitive at first—but it’s one of the most important reminders I can share. Rather than another guide on how to improve your life, I wanted to explore the opposite: how to ruin it. And the answer is both painfully simple and tragically common—ingratitude. We often chase blessings, pray for success, and work hard to get what we want. Yet once it comes, we forget the Source and we take for granted our fortune. We stop seeing the grace that surrounds us and begin to focus on what’s missing.

Ingratitude isn’t just a bad habit; it’s a path to loss. The moment we open the door to complaint and criticism, we invite negativity, and it begins to expand. We lose sight of the blessings, however abundant, because the ego by nature craves what’s absent rather than appreciating what’s present. This world is not paradise. It is a place of tests and purification. Yet through gratitude, we align ourselves with faith and with the will of Allah Almighty. As the Qur’an promises: “If you are grateful, I will increase you.” The inverse is just as true—ungratefulness leads to loss.

This isn’t just about attitude; it’s about spiritual reality. Gratitude is faith in action. It’s how we choose paradise over suffering, peace over conflict. And if we truly want better results—not just materially, but spiritually—this is where it starts. Choose to be grateful. Choose to see. Choose to rise.
