i didnt know you were allowed to do things for the sake of wanting to do things. i thought you were just supposed to keep that locked inside your ribcage and let it rot you inside out until youre limping around as the desiccated corpse of who you could have been

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: سُئل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أيُّ الصلاةِ أفضلُ بعد المكتوبةِ ؟ وأيُّ الصيامِ أفضلُ بعد شهرِرمضانَ ؟ فقال “ أفضلُ الصلاةِ ، بعد الصلاةِ المكتوبةِ ، الصلاةُ في جوفِ الليل ِ. وأفضلُ الصيامِ ، بعد شهرِ رمضانَ ، صيامُ شهرِ اللهِ المُحرَّمِ ”. صحيح مسلم حديث ١١٦٣

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that he (the Messenger of Allah) was asked as to which prayer was most excellent after the prescribed prayer, and which fast was most excellent after the month of Ramadan. He said: “The most excellent prayer after what is prescribed is prayer offered in the middle of the night and the most excellent fast after (fasting) in the month of Ramadan is the fast in God’s month al-Muharram.” Sahih Muslim 1163 b In-book reference : Book 13, Hadith 262 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 6, Hadith 2612

“And tire yourself out, because it makes life worth living! I have seen that water stagnates when it stands still, yet when it runs it is sweet and pure.”

How to develop discipline:

1. Set clear goals. What do you want to accomplish and why does it matter to you? Break the goals into small, actionable steps (feels doable).

2. Create a daily schedule that prioritizes most important items on the list. Keep it consistent to form habits over time.

3. Start small. Focus on one discipline building habit at a time to avoid getting overwhelmed. Gradually increase your commitments little by little.

4. Get rid of distractions that hinder your focus (e.g., social media during work).

5. Use accountability partners if possible. And/or track your habits. Use an app or check off from your list (this feels so good!)

6. Have self control! Resist small urges to build willpower (e.g., delay instant gratification). Commit to showing up even when you don’t feel like it. Especially when you don’t feel like it.

7. Stay consistent. Discipline is built by sticking to your commitments daily, not just when it’s convenient. Progress, not perfection is what matters.

8. Embrace the discomfort. Challenges are growth opportunities. Train yourself to act despite discomfort or boredom.

9. Celebrate every win & reward yourself for milestones to stay motivated.

10. Reflect on failures without judgment and adjust your plan. You will have to adjust your plans quite a few times. Don’t get set in your ways.

11. Spend time with disciplined and goal oriented people. You become who you surround yourself with. Their habits will inspire and influence you positively.

12. Keep your WHY in mind.

“There is no doubt that the one who memorizes more Qur’an will, in most cases, be able to recite more Qur’an in prayer. The recitation of Qur’an is one of the most enjoyable parts of prayer, and having the ability to elongate your standing in front of Allaah subhanahu wa ta’ala is greatly rewarding.”
