Your life should circulate around Him, He is your center of life. Anything you do should be because of Him.
Some lived for money, so money is their center of life. they make decision based on what will make them get more money, even when Allah says interest is unlawful, they make it lawful dor themself.
Some lived for beauty, so they willing to spend money to get more beautiful, willing to spend more effort and time to appear beautiful to the extend, putting Allah behind them. Does not listen to what Allah commands them , and do plastic surgery changing the creation of Allah.
Choose Allah even when you cannot see its worldly benefits that attracts you. Believe that, Allah will give you something much more valuable than what you imagine. Its either he grants it now, a gift in disguise, or He give them later which is much more better. Just be patient, and put your trust in Him. When you choose Him, either in this world or after, He will definitely without doubt keeps His promise.
In this world, Allah will not only give you what is halal, He will also tests you with what is haram. No matter haram or halal, if you put enough effort He will give it to you. For the haram things, you enjoy it here, but suffer later. For the halal one, you can enjoy them ,Allah had prepared them for you, enjoy them, and later you will get even more!..
