We should always keep in mind that everything that has a beginning also
has an end, and that every end is in turn a new beginning. As one goal
is reached, another comes to take its place. We are at our best and most
productive when we are striving and full of hope.
This is not a blameworthy trait. It is just the way we are wired as
human beings. We do become hastier and restless as we near our goals.
This is why we need to be reminded at such times and exhorted to
patience. Allah says: “Therefore (o Muhammad) do show patient, - a
patience fair to see.” [Sûrah al-Ma`ārij: 5]
