The purpose of our journey is not to necessarily be comfortable. However, the purpose of our journey is to grow.

The purpose of our journey is to be more purified, to grow and to be more beautiful in our character. We have to develop ourselves and improve ourselves. We have to become closer to Allah. That is our purpose.

When we realize this, then the way we deal with our lives becomes very different. It will transform our lives. It will also make us think differently about our hardships. We will reflect more on our struggles, on loss and what it means not to get what we want all of the time.

We will realize that our relationships are about building ourselves and making ourselves better. When our focus is clear then the way we interact with our entire lives transforms.
