Daily journal Date: 10th December Day: Wednesday One thing I want to remember about today is that nothing in life is easy. For everything we desire, we have to pay a price. Sometimes it becomes frustrating, but if we don’t pay the price today, our tomorrow will be ruined. It’s very important to stay consistent with things.

Alhamdulillah for moments like this. If someone had told me 10 years ago that one day I would buy something this meaningful with my own money, I wouldn’t have believed it. I was a completely different version of myself back then unsure, dependent, and never imagining I’d reach a point where I could provide for myself. But life has a way of unfolding in the most unexpected ways. Allah has a way of guiding you gently, step by step, even when you don’t notice it. This MacBook wasn’t bought from freelancing it’s from the money I earned through tuitions. And I’m sharing this because sometimes we all need a reminder: Growth takes time. Consistency matters. And every small effort made with trust in Allah eventually leads you somewhere beautiful. If you’re on your journey, don’t stop. Your duaas, your struggles, your little steps they will all be worth it, In shaa Allah. Here’s to new beginnings and silent prayers becoming visible blessings. 🌿✨

Notes: Storytelling Tips for English Learners (https://youtu.be/OaiQND8hsW8?si=MTpjb6QGc4EU4qw0) I watched a conversation between Hadar and Bree, a storytelling and public speaking coach. These are the key lessons that can genuinely help anyone trying to communicate better, especially in a second language. 1. What Storytelling Really Is Storytelling is simply describing a moment of change a shift in feeling, perspective, or understanding. It’s a structure that makes information easier to remember and share. It doesn’t have to be emotional or dramatic; even data becomes more relatable through a story. 2. Why Personal Stories Matter Personal stories help people connect with you. A little vulnerability builds trust and makes your message easier to absorb. One example shared: a leader used a personal experience to make his company’s rebranding message more meaningful. 3. “I Don’t Have Any Stories” Everyone has stories. We just don’t notice them. Start keeping a small list of moments from your daily life that feel meaningful or interesting. Those small moments often make the best stories. 4. How to Structure a Good Story Good storytelling is more about what you remove than what you include. Start as close as possible to the moment of change. Explain what happened, describe the shift, and then stop. Don’t over-explain the meaning. Let the audience understand it on their own. 5. Use Present Tense for Better Engagement Begin with a location, an action, and the present tense. This helps the listener imagine the scene as if it’s happening right now, almost like watching a movie. 6. Storytelling as a Non-Native Speaker Having less vocabulary can actually help you. It forces you to be clear and direct. Use simple words and lean on the present tense. Your story becomes more powerful, not less. 7. Don’t Be Afraid of Mistakes Mistakes are normal when speaking another language. The purpose of storytelling is connection, not perfection.

Daily journal Date: 9th December Day: Tuesday One thing I want to remember about today is to never take advantage of someone's helplessness. I know it can feel frustrating because of what they did to you, and now you may have the power to hurt them back but that will never bring you peace. You might take advantage, but you won’t get away with it. It will haunt you forever.
