This has been on my mind since I wrote this tweet so I decided to write a detailed piece on Substack.

That with the right intention, almost anything can become worship.

I used to think worship was only the “spiritual things” like praying, fasting, giving charity, etc. But over time I realised that anything He commands, encourages, or praises 👇

We are at a time of year when many of us have prayers and desires for the new year. Some of these are new and others are things we’ve wanted for years but have not yet received. At times, this can make us feel anxious, worried, frustrated, or doubtful.

I reflected on some interesting things that had happened to me over the years that gave me a deep sense of reassurance, allowing me to stop worrying and overanalyzing the desires I hold now. I hope that by reading them, you find some reassurance and peace too.

This piece of writing is very different than what I usually write.

I don’t like that I wrote it but I had to because what I have been seeing, reading, and hearing in the Ummah is turning my stomach 😣.

Something was on my mind while I was walking to the gym and I decided to write something quickly about it - https://t.co/9119McDbM9

This resonates. I used to use motivation as fuel, then willpower.

Over time, as a Muslim, what sustained my discipline long-term wasn’t brute force, it was reliance on Allah.

My best advice is to stop using motivation as your only fuel. I know it feels great when you’re fired up, but it’s a short-term fuel source. That’s why the vast majority of people who start anything - diet, fitness, new projects - don’t finish. They run out of gas.

The only lasting fuel is routine. And you only get a routine by dragging yourself on the days when you have no motivation. Over and over.

I know that’s not the answer anyone wants. I wish I had a magic pill for you. But the only thing that works long term is showing up for yourself even when you don’t want to. Brute force.

I’m slightly crazy and don’t have any investors or consultants to listen to, so I’m giving people 50 dollars of their 100 dollar annual subscription back when they show up for themselves and complete a full program in my app. If that motivates you to start, it’s designed to build your routine to keep you going like it has for thousands of other people, so join us: https://t.co/7hmVrdc2Gp

@questmoosa I have this mixture but yesterday I added vitamin E oil and rosemary essential oil to it. I'm curious to see what happens to my hair growth.

Every leg day, I get a lump in my throat because I know what is about to happen. Something is about to die a mini death 😂😭.

The lump doesn't go away until after the 4th exercise after I made it through.

[Fari @teefarie]

If anyone is curious, I shared the full reflection here: https://t.co/6kyt5sJ91y

Definitely my journey with trying to build a product from scratch.

It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. It stretched me spiritually, financially, mentally, physically, and emotionally. 👇

17/ What's a hardship you went through that you can now see the wisdom and mercy in?

[Fari @teefarie]

At the time, it felt overwhelming, but with time, Allah allowed me to see how much wisdom, purification, and mercy were hidden inside it.
