Are you TIRED?? Feeling like you've done too much work and can afford to take the day off???
***
After the Battle of Uhud, the Muslims were wounded, bloodied and worn out physically as well as emotionally. Not only were they wearing and wielding 100 lbs worth of armour and weaponry in the hot, desert sun, they were also emotionally tired. They had just witnessed 70 of their best friends martyred and then mutilated in the worst possible ways. Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib, Mus'ab ibn Umayr, Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them)...all their deaths had a severe emotional toll!
But the Prophet (may eternal peace and blessings be upon him) ordered them back up the very next day to continue pursuit of the mushrikeen army...
...And they ALL got up and obeyed without a word, and marched on....
These were the Sahaabas. The next time you feel like going on cruise control, think back to when the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) selflessly strove forward, and even RAN to the fragrance of Paradise...
May Allah [subhanahu wa ta'ala] unite us with them in the highest ranks of Jannah! Ameen

May we all enter jannat-ul-firdaus and enjoy the company of our beloved rasool and the sahabas.
