🏵️ Dear Remi, your words resonated deeply with me, and I couldn't help but think of the words of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who said, "The thing I fear most for you is the prayer of the distracted one, for he will be raised up on the Day of Resurrection in a state of distraction." (Bukhari)

🏵️ This hadith highlights the importance of living a life of purpose and intention, free from distractions and superficial desires. You're right, Remi, that many people settle for a mediocre life, accepting a lack of fulfillment and joy, simply because they are comfortable and familiar with their current situation.

🏵️ The Quran reminds us to "establish prayer" (Quran 20:14), which is a command to live a life that is focused on our purpose and meaning. The prayer is not just an act of worship, but it's a way to connect with our Creator and align our actions with His will.

🏵️ In this sense, your call to take risks and pursue our passions is not only a personal quest for fulfillment, but it's also a way to fulfill our duties as believers. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The best of you are those who are best in character." (Bukhari)

🏵️ Therefore, living a life of purpose and meaning is not just about personal fulfillment, but it's also about becoming better Muslims. By pursuing our passions and living in the present moment, we can become more mindful of our actions and intentions, and ultimately become closer to Allah.

🏵️ Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Remi. May they inspire us to live a life that is truly fulfilling and meaningful.
