We were talking about how even a smile is charity and that Nabi s.a.w. was called Al-Basam; the one who smiles.
Maybe an important part of life is about smiling regardless of one's situation; I remember reading somewhere that one of the especial people God loves are the happy ones. Perspective, yo! Sometimes, I think everything is perspective, and that if you're smart enough to psycho yourself about anything, then you can kinda deliberately manipulate your mindset to achieve anything.

The truth is that, for the most part, we are not in control. Great forces are at work in our lives, and we cannot work against them. To do so only makes you tired. The only thing to do is to see which way the wind is blowing and set sail in that direction. A skillful sailor can use the sails well, tacking into the wind and cleverly constructing a new course – but this requires keen observation and a deep understanding of and respect for the natural course of things.
