Perfecting one's intention for Allah's sake, is a lifetime's work.
The Prophet ﷺ said,
“When death was approaching the Prophet Nuh عليه السلام, he said to his son,
‘I will narrate to you my bequest; I command you with two things and prohibit you from two things.
I command you with La ilaha illAllah (‘There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah),
if the seven heavens and the seven earths were placed upon a scale and La ilaha illAllah was placed on the other, then La ilaha illAllah would be heavier.
If the seven heavens and the seven earths were a closed off circle then La ilaha illAllah would be able to break it.
The second thing I command you with is Subhana Allaahi wa bihamdihi because it is a supplication for everything, and by it the creation is given its provision, and I prohibit you from shirk and pride.’”
[Al Silsila As Sahiha, 3130]
Yūsuf ibn al-Husayn ar-Rāzī said:
“The most difficult thing in the world is ikhlās. How I struggle to remove showing off from my heart and it is as if it grows in it again with other colours.”
[Jami' Al-'Ulum Wa'l-Hikam by Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali رحمه الله pg. 10]
O Lord, how many people say Your name without being truthful in their hearts?
Zoozve, my beloved
May your imaan never leave you, may you always tread on the straight path with righteousness. May you be saved from the torment of the grave & from the punishment of the fire, may you be of the blessed residents of al-Firdaws, ameen ya rabb-il-'alameen.

There’s a brother who says
والى الله ترجع الأمور Wa ilal-lāhi turja'ul umoor And to Allah returns all affairs
When someone would hurt him or try to have a meaningless argument with him
A habit I picked up as well
