As the protector of Gotham City, I have seen the pain and misery that plagues the streets. I have witnessed the hopelessness in the eyes of the people and felt the weight of their struggles. It was then that I realized I could no longer sit idly by and watch as my city suffered. I had to do something to make a difference, but first, I needed to start with myself. I had become too comfortable in my lazy lifestyle, ignoring my responsibilities and failing to live up to my potential. There's always something in the way and this time it's me. It is time for me to take control, leave behind my old habits, and become the ultimate symbol of vengeance so that my future self is proud of me. And so, I committed to better myself, both physically and spiritually, so that I could be the symbol of hope that the people of Gotham needed.

I have always strived to better myself both physically and spiritually. For years, I had struggled with an addiction to smoking, but I finally made the decision to leave it behind and focus on my health. At the same time, I also made a commitment to wake up early for Fajr, the dawn prayer in Islam. This has been my experience so far.

It has been two days since I put down my last cigarette, and the journey has not been easy. The cravings have been relentless, a constant reminder of my past weakness. But I will not be defeated. Often, I am telling myself that I am a man of discipline and determination, and I will not let my addiction control me any longer. Self-talk is helping me in ways that I never imagined.

In the darkness of night, I find solace in the quiet moments before dawn. This is when I reflect on my struggles when I draw strength from the shadows and prepare for another day of battle against modernity. The early morning is a time of renewal, a chance to leave behind the past and embrace a brighter future.

This journey has not been easy, but it has been worth it. By leaving smoking behind, I have taken the first step towards a better tomorrow. I will not let the darkness of my past control me any longer.

Also, For the last two days, I have been waking up before the sun rises, before the chaos of the city begins. I rise at 5 AM, not out of obligation, but out of a sense of purpose. I rise to perform the Fajr prayer, to connect with my faith and with something greater than myself.

In the stillness of the early morning, I find clarity. The world is quiet, and my mind is free from the distractions and noise of the day. This is my time to reflect to set my intentions and seek guidance from a higher power.

As I perform the prayer, I am reminded of my responsibility to others. The Fajr prayer helps me to do just that, to clear my mind, to focus my energy, and to be the best version of myself.

And so, I rise each day, ready to face the challenges that lie ahead. The smoke and the ashes are gone, replaced by the clarity of a new dawn. My body is free from the poison that once enslaved me, and my mind is clear and focused. I am stronger now, more resilient, and more determined. The darkness that once consumed me is receding, replaced by the light of a new dawn. I am not alone in this journey, for I have my faith to guide me, and I am reminded each day of the importance of taking care of myself so that I may better serve others.

I am Bruce Wayne, the protector of Gotham, and I will emerge from the shadows stronger than ever.
