Assalamu alaikum ma'am
When your potential is recognised and acknowledged by outsiders but your own never seem to see it...
Yes, we neither chase insiders or outsiders recognition or acknowledgement, because we seek Allah swt.
However, sometimes to move forward, and to take risks especially as women we need the support of people/that one person who close to us or is Islamically our guardian.
How do we navigate this?
What does 'tie your camel' look like in this regard for women like us?
Do we trust Allah swt without doing our part?
