Success means different things to us, but I’ve learned to define it as being steady and spiritually connected. Making dua gave me a peaceful sense of guidance, especially when the path felt hard or unclear.
You might face challenges, but combining effort with prayer brings true accomplishment. It’s not just about grades or fame, but about growth and faith working together, helping us stay focused on our goals and dreams.
