🌅 Start of the Day
Assalamu Alaikum 🌸Last night, after completing my Monday journal and community reflection, I slept around 1 AM.Woke up at 8 AM, took a shower, had breakfast, and prayed Fajr (Qaza).Even though I missed it again, I’ve made a firm intention to fix my sleep and offer it on time, InshaAllah.
Reached the office by 9:30 AM. The morning was fully packed — managing work, coordinating with branches, and reviewing monthly returns.I’ve reduced earbud learning during office hours to stay more focused. Slowly, I’m rebuilding consistency — balancing between office learning and personal growth.
Since my confirmation is due soon, I’m putting extra effort into improving communication, accuracy, and teamwork.
🏢 Office & Work Routine
From 9:30 AM to 1 PM, I stayed deeply focused on completing tasks and learning about State Bank queries and monthly returns .At 1:15 PM, I offered Zuhr (Jamaat) and had lunch around 2 PM.Took a short rest from 2:30–3 PM — just to recharge, not to sleep.Then continued working till 5:30 PM, managing branch queries and follow-ups.
I’m improving my communication skills — learning to stay polite, composed, and professional with everyone. These small changes are already making a big difference.
🌃 Evening & Night
Left the office around 9:15 PM and headed straight to the gym.Did a light, controlled workout — focusing on form and posture instead of lifting heavy.Earlier, wrong posture caused stretch marks and shoulder pain, so now I’m prioritizing smart training over heavy training.
Returned home around 10–10:30 PM, had dinner, and spent some time with Ammi and family.After that, I joined our community reflection session — the topic was “Job vs Business Mindset.”
We discussed how an employee prays for ease and comfort,while a businessman prays for challenges — because every challenge brings new growth and opportunities.We concluded that both paths require patience, but mindset defines how far you’ll go.
Later, we also spoke about sleep discipline, motivation vs consistency, and how real progress comes not from random energy — but from daily discipline.
☁ Moment of Reflection
A tragic incident happened this morning.A Foodpanda rider came to deliver a parcel in our building. After delivery, he stepped into the lift without checking — it wasn’t fully closed — and he fell straight from the 5th floor to the ground.His leg and arm broke, and though he was rushed to the hospital, he passed away within hours.
That moment truly shook me. Life is unbelievably fragile — one second of carelessness can change everything.We take this blessing for granted, rushing through life without realizing how precious each breath is.
🌸 Deeper Learning from the Incident
This incident taught me one of the biggest lessons of my life —whatever you do, do it with calmness, gratitude, and trust in Allah.Move slowly, look around, be mindful, and always thank Allah for every small ease.Because honestly, we never know when or how our time will come.
Ask Allah for khair in every moment. Be content with your situation.And most importantly — learn from others’ experiences.
I realized I often plan too much — dream about a big house, perfect life, and future goals —but the truth is, even the next moment isn’t guaranteed.If you’re moving slowly, that’s still a blessing.Never be ungrateful for what you already have — because Allah’s plans always hold hidden wisdom.
Today, I recorded a short, random video — no script, no editing, just raw thoughts straight from the heart.Even though I fumbled a few times, I enjoyed it.I genuinely love talking, storytelling, and expressing thoughts this way.
This is a small start — a way to boost my confidence, express my passion, and hopefully create something insightful for others.If even one person benefits from my words, that’s enough for me. 🌿
💫 Closing Reflection
Alhamdulillah, today was a day of focus, learning, and gratitude.I worked with dedication, learned through experience, and ended the day feeling grounded and peaceful.
I’m improving — not through motivation, but through discipline and self-awareness.Tomorrow, I’ll strive to do better — pray better, work better, and live more consciously, InshaAllah. 🌙
