Is it about money or riches,
about health, looks or intelligence? These are some of the things very difficult for you to achieve but something else is the most difficult.
People have been doing hard things
all their lives, may it be in business, in pursuing a healthy lifestyle, or achieving that perfect look ​or having that sought-after intelligence. Doing business and making a lot of money is very hard to achieve especially if you start from scratch, if you come from humble beginnings. But so many have already made it from rags to riches. In the pursuit of health and wellbeing, people have been doing exercises that are grueling to sustain and sporting fat free diets that are almost impossible to maintain and in the end, they're rewarded with the results they've been working hard for years.
Getting the coveted "looks"
is easier these days especially when you got the money to pay for dermatology and surgery, along with diet and exercises. Intelligence is the hardest one among the money, health and looks. It takes years and years in school, and countless times of reading, surfing the web, research and a variety of experiences for one to be truly considered intelligent. All of those ones above: getting rich from rags, becoming fit from fat, transforming to beauty from ugly and going intelligent from foolish are common everyday occurrence. You can always find at least one in your neighborhood. They're very hard to materialize but not impossible and involves a lot of determination, patience and perseverance.
And so,
​what's the hardest one to achieve? To become good, period! ​ That is definitely the hardest and the most impossible for anyone. You can be poor today but rich tomorrow, you can be ugly today but beautiful in no time, you can be overweight and obese but buff in few years time and ignorant and foolish but smart and intelligent when least expected, but not becoming good. One lifetime is not enough to become good. Even if you're given 200 years to live, your chance of becoming good is almost nil or nothing. To be good is not necessarily to be perfect but involves so many things all at the same time. You have to be loving, caring, sharing, generous, forgiving, respectful, honest, sincere, kind, humble, benevolent, considerate, passionate, compassionate, gentle, friendly, merciful, helpful and the list goes on and on. And most of all, you should have fear of God, always acknowledging His Holy Presence by being your most humble, by bowing to Him, by praying to Him, worshiping Him above anyone and everything and always giving Him thanks and praise. If you look around you, you can never find a truly good man. A truly good man is godly and doesn't live the worldly life. He doesn't care about material things but concentrate himself on things divine and heavenly. He doesn't care about business and making money, and ignores the pursuit of health, beauty and intelligence. He leaves everything behind without looking back and concerns himself with the commandments of God and the teachings of prophets. His sole purpose in life and his sole reason for living is to follow God's laws all his time on earth, worshiping Him and giving Him thanks and praise.
