Can any Muslim brother or sister be generous enough to advice on the topic, what should be the life style of a devoted muslim .. what is the key element that will make him a Mu'minoon and not just an average Muslim ... All help is deeply appreciated

first thing that i would have to say is that i am not perfect, but i have a desire to try to attempt perfection. it's something that i can never really achieve but it's about trying to be the best muslim that i can be.
i try to improve my sense of TAWHEED, which means cutting out any anspect of my life that comes anywhere near associating partners with ALLAH SWT. people think that the greatest sin known as shirk, only means worshipping another god other than ALLAH SWT. that is only partially true. that is because money, fame, drugs can become gods for people if they aren't careful.
TAQWA, always keeping in mind that we should enjoin the good and forbid ourselves from evil. it's when our NAFS or lower desires beckon us to commit sin, and we remain strong and remember that we are slaves to ALLAH SWT.
gaining ILM or knowledge. the more knowledge that you gain, the more you know why we shouldn't be involved in the things that ALLAH SWT has prohibited.
and lastly, i would say we have to do what islam calls us to do, which is to submit.
these are just my opinions and what i personally am trying to achieve in my life.
