All you do is chase money and you wonder why you feel like a failure.
Take it from me, I used to chase money instead of doing this:
Whether you like to admit it or not, you love money more than life, more than health, more than your family.
When a business deal collapses, you treat it like a family member has died or you lost your leg.
Your mood drops. Your patience disappears. You replay it for days.
But you don’t react the same way when:
- Your health slowly declines
- Your sleep gets worse every year
- Your weight creeps up
- Your energy disappears after Asr
- Your wife gets the exhausted version of you
- Your children get what is left
You tell yourself: “I’ll fix it later.” “When work slows down.” “After this next push.”
That push never ends.
You protect your income like it is sacred. But you treat your body like it is disposable.
As a Muslim man, that makes no sense.
Your body has rights over you. Your family has rights over you. Your Lord has rights over you.
Money is a tool. Not your purpose.
If losing a deal hurts more than losing your health, your priorities are broken.
And no amount of money will fix that.
