Ameen. Thanks for sharing this. I think my biggest fear is that I'll never overcome my fears, that I will always give in to them and never know the feeling of getting over them. Thank you for the reminder of the hadith. I do turn to it in moments of fear and it is always helpful alhamdulillah.
Alhamdu’lillah you’re welcome. Today I was actually thinking back to when I thought the same and i realized I had made a great deal of progress but they I still continued to think in terms of overcoming. But I realized , no! I’m being. I stopped and realized that I have many moments of being unafraid, of being courageous and the moment my focus shifted so did my feelings around it. Of course it’s a test from Allah but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn to always turn to Allah with certainty and not live the fear of fear itself anymore InShaaAllah
Congrats on this amazing book idea and the progress you've been making toward it!! I can relate to the fear of failure and that stopped me for years from writing my book - but as you said, once you let go of the fear and let God write through you, it seemed to just flow. The way chapter 4 worked for you recently, thats how the writing was for me. That part became easy and a structure, accountability buddy, and outward commitment of my plan all kept me on track. Good luck in the whole process!
Thank you Katie! It’s a constant battle isn’t it with fear. However the more I work at it and put my trust in God the easier it becomes ❤️ consistency in working on the book and with any goal in life will lead to a compound effect and I’m keeping that in mind!
I have no intention of writing a novel right nlw, but maybe I'll make an account just to get a taste of this whole nanowrimo thing. I really need to lock in and do a lot of stuff this month, especially grad school applications in addition to assignments and exams and some extracurricular stuff.
May Allah swt grant us all the tawfeeq to step into and upto our stronger, more resilient, and more purposeful selves.
InShaaAllah sounds great. Maybe you can use to to lock in some time for getting your assignments and applications done . Ameen and may Allah grant you much more than you asked for Ameen
My biggest fear I think is having commitments. Being tied to things. That I must show up, that I must do things at specific times and structjre my day around my commitments.
That's why I think I'm afraid of med school. Because of how much of a commitment it is and how it'll force me to become a different version of myself.
Thank you for sharing. Thank you for your vulnerability .As a former life coach this is something you may want to explore more as these types of fears tend to show up especially when we commit to things we associate with the fear. May Allah make it easy for you and help you to overcome your fear Ameen .
