"Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is stronger than any obstacle." – Christian D. Larson
Take advantage of the seasons of your life and do not waste time! Use knowledge (ilm) and wisdom (hikmah) as guides. Race the time by taking advantage of it; and hold your 'selves' accountable and take a lot of good deeds to survive your journey for indeed death is about to knock on your doors.
[Book: Captured Thoughts by al-Ḥāfiẓ Abū'l-Faraj Ibn al-Jawzī, p. 359 | Translated from the Original Arabic | Dār as-Sunnah Publishers]

Motivation is overrated. What you need is discipline.
Discipline doesn't require motivation, happiness, nice weather, cute hair, the right clothes, the latest equipment, that one inspirational video that will change it all. Discipline only requires you.
Discipline requires you in pieces, too: bits of you, bare minimums, daily littles, step by steps. Motivation is always calling up big moves, 3 A.M. transformations, Monday makeovers, bonfires that quickly sizzle; but discipline keeps you warm through the thickest winter.
Discipline only wants you in return. It's always you, and only you, over and over.
He created me
He provided for me
He will look after me
why do I drown myself then
in worry ?
over and over again
I strive to remind myself
my Creator will not abandon me
have patience, dear one
it will all fall into place
with one command of
"Be!"
