According to my daily dairy, it’s Day 414.

The day started with my alarm ringing at 5:10 am. I had every intention to wake up and begin the day, but the warmth of my bed pulled me back into sleep. I woke up again around 6:30 am, feeling slightly disappointed with myself for not getting up earlier. I knew I had to shake off the sluggishness, so I got freshened up and headed straight for breakfast. After I ate, I decided to dive into some reading to kick-start my mind. I started with the book “Shia Sunni Understanding” by Dr. Israr Ahmed, and as usual, his insights sparked a lot of thoughts in me. By 8 am, I realized it was time to get ready for work. I mentally prepared myself, knowing it would be another day filled with responsibilities. I left for the office, trying to stay positive and focused. When I reached work at around 8:45 am, the first thing I did, as always, was text my family to let them know I had arrived safely. It’s such a simple habit, but it brings me peace of mind knowing they’re aware. Once I was settled, I dove right into my work. The usual tasks and routines were waiting for me, and the hours passed quickly as I focused on getting everything done. The workday ended around 6 pm, but instead of heading straight home, I decided to take a short break. I stopped for tea at a spot near my house with my office colleague, wanting to unwind a little. I sat there, reflecting on the day and mentally organizing my thoughts. By the time I left the tea place, it was 7:15 pm, and I reached home by 7:30 pm. As soon as I got home, I freshened up, offered Magrib prayers and spent some time with my family. It’s always nice to have those moments of connection at the end of a long day. After that, I scheduled my Instagram posts for the next two days, making sure everything was planned out.
Once I was done, I offered my Isha prayers, which always helps me reset and refocus. After prayers, we had dinner together, and then I changed into my nightdress, ready to wind down the evening. But before I could relax completely, I knew there was still work to do. I powered up my laptop and got back to my blog. I posted a new entry and then spent some time sorting through my saved links, organizing things that needed my attention. While working, I suddenly remembered that my friend, who was going to Hungary on a scholarship, would be leaving soon. Her flight was on the 14th, most likely in the middle of the night on the 13th. A wave of desire swept over me — a longing to go abroad too. Seeing someone achieve that goal made me reflect on my own ambitions. I knew I wanted that experience, that sense of accomplishment. As I was scrolling through Instagram, I stumbled upon a post by a boy from India, who was talking about the opportunities in Japan. He mentioned that learning Japanese had a lot of potential there, which sparked my curiosity about exploring new paths. Inspired, I decided it was time to focus on my own journey. Around 10 pm, I began researching automation, trying to figure out how I could get started in this field. It became clear that coding would be a necessary skill, something I hadn’t really considered learning. At first, I felt overwhelmed. The thought of learning coding felt like a huge obstacle, and for a moment, I wanted to give up. But I pushed myself to keep going. Instead of quitting, I decided to explore other options. I started looking at freelancing platforms, wondering if there were opportunities for people like me — people who could manage automation tools like Zapier, Trello, and Airtable without necessarily needing deep coding skills. As I researched further, I found out that many people were offering services related to these automation platforms. They weren’t coders but experts in setting up automations, and they were making a decent income from it. That realization gave me a boost of confidence. It reminded me of my current role in accounts — while the tasks could technically be done by the employer themselves, they hired someone like me to handle it so they could focus on other things. In the same way, there are people out there who don’t want to deal with setting up automation systems and are willing to pay others to do it for them. This discovery made me feel like I was on the right track. I realized that mastering these automation tools could open doors for me. Instead of feeling overwhelmed like I did the day before, I now felt a sense of calm. I knew that if I continued on this path, I would get where I wanted to be. With a renewed sense of purpose, I went to bed around 11:15 pm, feeling more at peace and determined than ever before. I knew the journey ahead would be challenging, but I was ready to face it.

That concludes the day’s chapter.

Until tomorrow, remember to clap and share your thoughts.
Best of luck on your journey, and always stay consistent — after all, you are the author of your destiny.

A common man giving his shot to be above average. In case I couldn't make it, at least I won't have any regrets. But when I do, this profile will be a lesson.
