Two Years I Almost Wasted — And What They Taught Me
For two years, I kept telling myself:
“I’m learning.”
“I’m preparing.”
“I’m not ready yet.”
I spent most of my time consuming content — watching videos, taking notes, learning strategies. In 24 hours, I worked more than 12 hours some days.
But here’s the painful truth:
I was consuming, not executing.
I delayed applying for jobs.I avoided client outreach.I stayed away from Upwork.
Why?
Because I was chasing perfection.
I kept thinking:
- “My English isn’t perfect yet.”
- “Let me practice one more month.”
- “Let me become fully ready.”
- “Let me learn a little more.”
And that “one more month” turned into two years.
💔 The Real Problem
It wasn’t laziness.
It was fear.
Fear of rejection. Fear of not being good enough.Fear of making mistakes publicly.
Sometimes I felt disappointed in myself.
I used to be a university topper.People used to say my mind was sharp.
And I started asking myself:
“What happened to me?”
“Why am I stuck?”
At night, I would pick up my prayer mat, talk to Allah, and cry in sujood.I told Him everything in my heart — my fear, my confusion, my frustration.
And somehow… after those moments, I felt lighter.
🌅 The Turning Point
One day I realized something simple but powerful:
Hassan, stop multitasking.Stop consuming extra content.Start executing what you already know.
I didn’t lack knowledge.I lacked action.
I didn’t need another course.I needed courage.
That day I decided:
- No more waiting.
- No more perfect timing.
- No more “next month.”
Start now.
Lessons I Learned
1️⃣ Don’t Chase Perfection
If you have enough knowledge to start — start.
2️⃣ Stop Waiting for Tomorrow
Don’t wait for next month.Don’t wait for perfect English.Don’t wait for perfect confidence.
If you wait, two years will pass like mine did.
Start now.
3️⃣ Talk to Allah When You Feel Lost
If nothing makes sense, speak to Allah.
Tell Him everything.Your fears. Your weakness. Your confusion.
You will be surprised how doors begin to open.
4️⃣ Believe in Yourself Again
Meet experts in your field.Ask for advice.Tell them what you know and ask what to do next.
