Arrogance is actually just ignorance. Ignorance of what you really are in relation to the world-but most of all in relation to God.

Be grateful for every single person who was part of your story.The ones that hurt you. The ones that helped you. Because they all taught you.

We die as we lived. Whatever was most important in life, will consume us at death. Whatever attachments we had will become evident then.

To empty the heart does not mean to not love. On the contrary, true love, as God intented it, is purest when it is not based on a false attachment. The process of first emptying the heart can be found in the beginning half of the shahada (declaration of faith).
