Don’t Feel Overwhelmed, Just Begin. ️

Take the first step, don't worry about the end goal, just take the first step. You want to get a job or you want to become financially responsible, just write a CV, don't worry about the next step. I think a lot of it, confidence to get started with these things and not feeling overwhelmed, it comes down to knowing Allah and trusting Allah.

Musa عليه السلام leaves Egypt, he doesn't know where he's going, he doesn't know where he's going to end up. He makes one trip, he ends up in a place he has no idea, Madian, middle of nowhere. Within a short period of time, a day, he has a job, he has a wife, he has a mentor, he has a community.

Why? What was his secret? It was two things.

The First Secret: He Worked Hard

The moment he arrives in Madian, he sees two women on the side, he's like — I'm gonna help you, don't worry, I'll sort you out.

The Second Secret: He Made Du'a to Allah

When he reaches Madian, he helps these two ladies out. He lifts his hand and he says to Allah — the du'a that Allah preserved for us in the Quran:

"My Lord, indeed I am in need of whatever good You would send down to me."

Simple, it wasn't complicated. Start the journey, Allah will help you reach the end.

So with that message of hope — don't feel overwhelmed, just begin.
