Imam Ali (a.s.) points to a truth worth sitting with: know with full conviction that allah has not fixed for any person more livelihood than what has been ordained in the book of destiny, even though his means (of seeking it) may be great, his craving for it intense and his efforts for it acute.

Slow down once today and ask: is this the wise response?
