Day 8 - Manzil miley gi, bhatak ker he sahi… | 9th April 2026 (Thursday)
Finally the video journal now has decent quality audio... Open to feedback!
⭐ One thing to remember about today
On days like this, appreciate yourself for just showing up! Even if no real work gets done. Looking at your past experiences, this “not so real work” is often what led to a breakthrough or success.
Things like, leaving someone a message, exploring resources, figuring out new strategies, rethinking the action plan, etc.
💛 Feel the Love of Allah
The rejections, feeling like you don’t know anything, imposter syndrome, comparing yourself to others… All of these are a natural part of the journey, aur ye Allah Ta’ala aapko mentally strong bhi kerraha hota hae for bigger trials in your life, so you can handle every challenge with the confidence k “ye kya cheez hae, iss se tau bohot barra barra kuch dekha hae mene”
Plus, it also makes you empathetic to other beginners, when you’ve been through all of this yourself. Otherwise, you risk becoming arrogant.
Allah also saved me from a mishap. Laptop charger got short-circuited, but Alhamdulillah only had to buy the power cable again, plus it didn’t cause any physical harm either.
💭 Day Close Reflections
Wasn’t able to get any real work done today due to constant overthinking and getting pulled in all sorts of different directions. Can notice myself getting a bit impatient and desperate these days, even though I know k cheezon k jitna zyada peechey bhaagtey haein, wo aap se utni door bhaag jaati haein.
But having trouble getting over this. Confident and hopeful k ye siraf 2-3 din ka phase hae, guzar jaaye ga, and I’ll be back to my full energy.
🎯 90-Day Goal
I will be earning $5k/month from my freelancing services by July 2026, by building a proper outreach and outsourcing strategy, or upskilling myself. So I can go to Umrah with my family in September.
