Finding the Strength to Stay on the Straight Path

As-salamu alaykum, everyone. Sometimes we all need a little reminder about what keeps us going. What’s that one thing that pushes you to be more disciplined, to put in the hard work, and to consciously stay away from things that lead us away from our deen? For me, it’s remembering that my actions are an ibadah and wanting to earn Allah’s pleasure, insha'Allah. I’m really trying to turn my life around for the better and seek that closeness. Would love to hear what motivates my brothers and sisters. Jazakum Allahu khayran.
