This happens because our beliefs influence our actions. For example, if a woman thinks that her husband will leave her for another woman, she will act in ways that will directly or indirectly cause her belief to come true.

Accepting Bad Side of Us

We just had to try to receive instead of deny those feelings.  The understanding that life is not always like what we want in may ways will give us some understanding about life acceptance. Islam says this gratefulness as syukur. Syukur is accepting what you are having and what you are not. We will be happier than before by implementing syukur in our life.  Be faithful and happy .
