When you are trying to become someone else
Two short lines naming what actually succeeds.
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
Qad aflaḥa man tazakkā, wa dhakara-sma rabbihi fa-ṣallā.
“He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.”
