I Dont Like How Endings In Real Life Come On So Suddenly Without Making Sense, Without Much Warning.

Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله, Minhaj as-Sunnah (v. 8, p. 416)

God has guaranteed you sustenance (rizq), so don't wear yourself out worrying about your future. You are being taken care of by the best of caretakers. Focus simply on your efforts and strive hard.

The human realm is the realm of effort, and human effort is limited to acquiring of the means. The realm of the ends and outcomes is the realm of Allah. Say insha'Allah and wake up every day with hope in your heart.
