Girl, hear me… it’s NORMAL to hate your job at 25, be broke at 27, feel scared to start at 28, grind in silence at 30, and build success slowly by 35.
Life isn’t a race. Keep going. You’re way closer than you think.
Manager: “I’ve noticed you’re quiet in meetings.”
Employee: “I’m just focused on execution.”
Manager: “You need to speak up more to get noticed.”
In too many workplaces, visibility beats value.
Introverts and deep thinkers get overshadowed by louder personalities.
But being outspoken doesn’t always mean being effective.
The best leaders recognize impact, not just volume.
If your promotion depends on performance plus politics, your culture has already failed.
Thoughts?
Ya Allah,
If you are hearing me tonight,
I come to You with a heart that is tired but still hopeful.
I am struggling quietly with things only You truly know.
Ya Allah,
I don’t know what to do or which path to choose.
Please open a way out for me where I see none.
Grant me clarity when my thoughts feel heavy and confused, and guide me so I do not choose out of fear, but out of wisdom.
Protect my journey, Ya Allah
my heart, my intentions, and my future.
Replace my worries with calm,
my doubts with trust,
and remind me that you are always near.
In this blessed month of Rejab,
draw me closer to You
and grant me strength beyond what I think I have.
Ameen.
Today’s affirmation:
Semoga Allah tanamkan dalam hati kita kedamaian dan ketenangan. Not easily angered by small things, not easily hurt by simple words, and not overthinking little issues. So we can live with more peace, more meaning, and true happiness 🤍
