Journal Entry
Assalamualaikum,
It's been two days since I came back after my exams, and I'm still trying to figure everything out.
I had so many questions and confusions, so I reached out to Umar Bhai and Sameera Api to get some clarity.
My Original Plan
Before my exams, I had planned to:
- Complete my classroom lectures.
- Work consistently on my skills.
- Post content regularly.
- Master at least one skill within one or two months.
- Complete the lectures so I could fully participate in the challenge.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
Since I was focused on studying for my exams, I couldn't give enough attention to my work or skill development. My priorities had to shift, and because of that, I couldn't stay on track with my original goals.
Coming Back After Exams
Now that I'm back, I felt overwhelmed and confused about where to start.
To make things even more stressful, Instagram suspended my account. I created a new one, but that got suspended as well. That really worried me and added more pressure during these past two days.
What I'm Doing Now
Instead of staying stuck, I've started taking action again.
Currently, I am:
- Working on improving my chosen skill.
- Watching the classroom videos.
- Planning to start the challenge videos as well.
- Trying to organize everything step by step.
My Personal Growth
Alongside work, I'm also:
- Praying regularly and not skipping my Salah.
- Learning the Quran again.
- Managing my time between learning, work, and personal responsibilities.
Balancing everything isn't easy, but I'm trying my best.
A Reminder to Myself
The last two days have been mentally exhausting, and I've felt a lot of pressure.
Maybe I'll complete everything later than I originally planned, and that's okay.
What matters is that I haven't given up.
I know things will get easier with time, and I believe that if I stay consistent, I'll eventually reach my goals, InshaAllah.
Personal Note
My mother hasn't been feeling well, and that has been on my mind too. I pray that Allah grants her complete shifa, good health, and a quick recovery. Please keep her in your duas as well.
May Allah make everything easy for all of us, accept our efforts, and bless us with consistency and success. Ameen.
