I liked the saying:
The speed of someone hastening [towards something] is based upon the size of the goal.
So in seeking sustenance, [Allaah] says:
{فامشوا}
{It is He who made the earth tame for you – so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision – and to Him is the resurrection.} al-Mulk 67:15And for the prayer, He says:
{فاسعوا}
{O you who have believed, when [the adhaan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu’ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allaah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.} al-Jumu’ah 62:9And for Jannah, He says:
{و سارعوا}
{And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous} Aal-’Imraan 3:133And as for to Him, He says:
{ففروا إلى الله}
{So flee to Allaah . Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.} adh-Dhaariyaat 51:50These words are beyond the level of originality; Glory be to the Creator, the Sustainer – He in whose Hand are the affairs of every thing.
