What got you here, won’t get you there.
I just made a huge milestone in my journey. I decided to go after what I wanted unapologetically. I decided and kept deciding to put both feet in the door of my dreams. It took a lot of work even to admit my dreams. Now, I had not only admitted to having them but also committed to achieving them.
Right after this groundbreaking decision, I fell into a slump. My motivation plummeted, and I searched for a way to light my fire again. The thing I love the most about allowing yourself to be guided is that you are given things you need.
I came across a piece of information where it illuminated what I needed to hear.
All the amazing things that got me to this point were priceless. However, those actions led me to the current reality I am in. I am lightyears ahead of where I used to be. I was riddled with self-doubt and was constantly questioning my path. To change this, I shifted inward and kept focusing on my mindset. I did quite a good job of building my foundation of self that will keep being built for life.
However, now that I reached this milestone and continue to celebrate it, it’s time to switch up my game plan.
My word of the year was tangible.
If I want to materialize what I decided I want to have, I have to pray, ask for guidance, and take dedicated action towards that. Of course, I will still keep on doing what I need for the importance of self. However, I need to incorporate more things to get me where I want to go.
For example, I want to be fluent in Arabic. I am frustrated with it, but at the same time, I haven’t touched any Arabic material at all in a while. I say I want to be of the financial world and not just an observer, but all I do is study the markets and not make any investments. I say I want to be surrounded by likeminded people, but all I do is isolate.
This does not discredit anything I have done or mastered. If it wasn’t for the previous steps, I wouldn’t have gotten to this step. Now, I have to take the proper steps for the future version of myself.
So, with this, it’s time to pivot and learn. It’s time to grow and you know I am taking you along with me.
Sincerely,
Your Author Bayinnah

You can't just wish change; you have to live the change in order for it to become a reality.

♡ Our Little Time Capsuleㅤ ♡
I have now become obsessed with the now.
Before, I had a bit of a problem. I always used to see. I will.
It will come.
I will get there.
I will have this skill.
I will get this or that in six months.
I was in this forever will loop. I decided to be done with that recently. I don’t even pin any pins on Pinterest that have that will mentality.
No, I decided that I have it now. I am intelligent and beautiful now. I like my reality now. I am aligned now. I have everything I want now. I am blessed now. Now, now, now, and what? NOW.
That’s it. That’s the PSA for today.
