🪞 Reflection
Alhamdulillah, today the day went fantastic — really well. I woke up late at 4:30 PM because earlier I had decided to pull an all-nighter and then stay awake all day so I could sleep early at night, but uncertainty always finds its way somehow. In the morning, while lying down at around 9:00 AM, I fell asleep, and then I woke up late. But I didn’t take that as an excuse. I got hold of my day and followed my morning anchor whenever I woke up.
At night, I really felt like reading a book. I was reading The 5 AM Club the day before as well, and reaching that climax where the real teachings begin made me genuinely excited. So today I wanted to read as much as possible, and I truly enjoyed it. I spent a lot of time reading while walking in my room.
Later, I felt sleepy and slept for around 2 hours and 45 minutes. When I woke up, I felt energetic again.
When I woke up today, I practiced neural programming — an exercise I learned recently from a video book summary website that I bought a subscription to. I decided not to use social media at all today. The physical cue I chose was snapping my fingers three times to signal my brain that this is my new identity. Alhamdulillah, it worked. I didn’t use social media today at all. I’m sharing this because it genuinely helps train your brain to accept decisions.
After that, I spent some time alone and did workouts in bits and sections while moving around, making tea, and eating. I even did sit-ups in the kitchen. After having boiled eggs and tea, I committed to a proper workout and trained for about an hour. Alhamdulillah, I felt refreshed and refined afterward.
For the past two days, I’ve been thinking deeply about myself — what I like, what I want to do, and the kind of community I want to build to serve humanity. Daily journaling has been life-changing. It helps me understand myself, stay aligned with my interests, and ignore societal norms, expectations, stereotypes, and the constant fear of judgment. I know what I enjoy doing, and I’m spending my time doing exactly that.
I never stopped believing in myself. Days were tough. I fell emotionally. My brain felt foggy and cloudy. But I didn’t give up. I always trusted the plan and consistency. I’m reaching a point of clarity, though I know this isn’t the end. I’m open to learning, open to new experiences, and aware that I still have a lot to learn.
My parents always say to me I wasted 4–5 years after intermediate, but now I realize those years were lessons from Allah — teaching me who to stay away from, what to do, and most importantly, what not to do. Everything happens for a reason. Every hardship was guidance—Alhamdulillah for everything.
I’m looking forward to giving my best, and Inshallah, I will continue doing so with discipline, faith, and gratitude.
🌱 Lesson of the Day
Clarity comes when you stop running from yourself and start listening.
Every “wasted” phase carries lessons that shape discipline, faith, and direction. Consistency, self-belief, and trust in Allah always compound — even in silence.
