JazakAllahu khair for the beneficial reminder, we should always used missed opportunities as a means to motivate us. At the same time it is important to note that a believer knows that everything happens by the decree of Allah, and we are not suppose to think “if this happened” or “I should have done this” (as the messenger prohibited). Rather, we know that /everything/ Allah has decreed is good for us, and can also be a learning opportunity which we use to do even better next time (and Allah will give us an even better opportunity if we do so).

This article really reminded me of one hadith:

Ibn Umar narrates: one day I was with the Messenger of Allah (Sal Allahu Alayhi wa Sallam). He then turned to me, held my shoulders with both of his blessed hands, and said: “Be in this life like a stranger or a traveler.”

And whenever Ibn Umar narrated this to his students he would add: “If you reach the evening, do not await (to be alive) by dawn, And if you reach dawn, do not await (to be alive) by evening. Take advantage of your Health before you fall sick. And take advantage of your life, before you die.” [Bukhari]
