What becomes Possible When you lead with Tawakkul
Have you had that moment in life where on the surface you have it all? When you have worked tirelessly to reach a goal or milestone but now that it is in your grasp, its meaningless? Your smiling but theres an internal battle that you are struggling to make sense of?
I was living the life.
In my 20s I was financially stable with secure investments and a successful career where I was progressing
I crossed the 6 Figure threshold early on in my career
I had an amazing social life where weekly nights out and 3-4 holidays a year were the norm
Signing up to any new adventure that caught my eye
I was living the fast paced life
By my late 20s I had achieved everything that I had planned to and more.
Goals that people don’t reach until their 30s or 40s I had achieved in my 20s.
Despite this
there was a restlessness in me
I never truly felt fulfilled
What I was doing day to day just seemed like I was accumulating wealth- there was no joy in it.
I felt like a circus monkey, just performing and doing things as this was what I had been told success was all about
I was just going through the motions of life and not truly living
I was so tunnel vision that I neglected what really mattered in life, including my faith, my family, and even my health.
my own mental, emotional and spiritual health were at an all time low
It all changed when I attended this seminar on Islamic Psychology. That lit a fire in me which burned slowly until finally 2 years on I decided to train as a counsellor and 5 years on I walked away from the life I had known to pursue my God given purpose of supporting other women on their mental, emotional and spiritual healing journeys.
The scariest step of my life was walking away into the unknown to become an entrepreneur so I can be the change maker that I was born to be....
Most of the time I don’t know what I’m doing (that’s why I have invested in multiple coaches to keep me accountable!)
But I have never felt more fulfilled than I do now, creating and living the life that aligns with my dreams, my hopes and my purpose.
It was my Tawakkul in Allah that He is the best of planners, the provider of Rizq and results that allowed me to take this fearless step and something I remind myself of every time I take a risk.
Reflect on a time when you took a fearless step knowing in your heart that Allah is with you.
