A year ago at this exact date, I was still struggling through 3 part time jobs, trying to get through uni life and doing as much for the business even when I'm far away from home. I remember the many times I've cried through my struggles but my perserverance and love for adrenaline rush through embracing intensity in life have always pushed me through.
Last year around December, my mum told me we needed a new car for the business. And she pitched that it should be a Honda since the reselling price is pretty good.
Not knowing much about purchasing cars, I thought it was a great idea for the business, it meant well that we were growing at a good rate (Alhamdulillah!)
But I immediately felt nervous, anxious and everything negative accumulated. Yeah sure, its great to know that the business that you and your partner worked on is doing great, but I was a bit concerned about myself. What if I stopped realising the importance of being humble? What if I become one of those people who "can't drive a Proton"? What if I have this 'dream' that I am living a life of luxury that I can afford? What if this decision puts me in a comfort zone which would mean that I'll have less motivation to work harder everyday?
I literally just came back from abroad 3 weeks ago and I would be lying if I didn't say it was a bit overwhelming (cause I thought of staying with my yellow kelisa at least for a little longer)....
But once I got myself buckled in for the drive to bring the car home alone, I place both of my hands together and prayed,
"Ya Allah, protect me, my family and the car and whoever who rides it. Don't make me get too distracted with these 'gifts' in Dunya when I know of the truth is in the world After. Please make me a person who is always humble, and a person who is good not only to my family or the ones I love, but to others. Protect me from the hatred of the world and always make me appreciate/ be grateful for the little things in life, and its struggles"
Here's to more failures to learn from, growth, perseverance, persistence, hard work and achievements in life. Here's to my first car, a Honda BRV.
