And verily, your Lord will give you (all i.e. good) so that you shall be well-pleased.

I agree.

Plus, it's a whole lot easy to fake the tough exterior.

This could be a test. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Right?

And if the worst comes instead of the best?

My threshold of physical pain has always been comparatively higher than my emotional pain.

Maka?

Kena have faith la...

Allah never tests His servants with more than they can bear, right?

And there's always a hikmah for everything that happens to us.

As for now, I'm fine. That is what I always tell, and will continue to tell them.

Fake it till you make it.

On a completely different but somewhat related matter, yours truly stumbled across this one page the other day. Sangat suka. Especially this one particular bit that I'm re-posting down here :

The stronger the faith you have the more difficult the tests/trials you will face, but if you see the hidden blessings of the difficult trials then you have the potential to increase your wisdom, increase your faith and develop your personal character, so be happy when Allah SWT tests you with difficulties as he has given you an opportunity to get closer to him through the trials. Allah is the Most Wise.
