Before starting MV CLC, my life had just started to transform. A few months before I encountered the MV platform, I was fed up with my postpartum hormone-charged anxiety driving me nuts that I was entering the stagnant phase of my life, now that I had everything that is the social/worldly definition of success. I had achieved a medical career with a great work-life balance (after years of no work-life distinction). We overcame the troubles in our marriage caused by long term long distance and after having a beautiful baby girl reach 2.5 years of age, we were blessed with a healthy baby boy to complete our family. Additionally, we were able to purchase a house in a manner that was congruent with our Islamic faith - without interest, in a city where houses are ridiculously overpriced, and at the perfect time after which we wouldn't have been able to buy a house for several more years. Oh yeah, my student loans were paid off within 1.5 years of completing my residency - 1.5 years before we bought the house. So alhamdulillah, I realized that I live in a flux of special blessings when it comes to Providence.
I had reached what modern version of "and they lived happily ever after". And despite realizing that, I could not shake off the gnawing sensations that I was not doing ENOUGH. All these ideas in my head, all these fears in my head, exacerbated by my postpartum body were driving me crazy. I would randomly wake up in the middle of the night feeling like my life is slipping away, and I have nothing to show for my existence.
I have just received and received, and not produced anything fruitful.
And then a few days before I was supposed to turn 36 years old, an Islamic Scholar, who had a huge influence on my college life and the formative years of my life, passed away at the tender age of 47 suddenly. There was no exacerbating cause of death. And in the span of less than 2.5 decades, he transformed the way Muslims not only in the West, but also the East, accessed quality Islamic knowledge. His work created platforms that enabled more Muslims and Scholars to connect - and I was one of those Muslims who benefitted from his trailblazing accomplishment. He taught the Muslim devotees to connect intimately to the 1400-year-old concept of "Dua" to connect to the Divine which is basically what the "Law of Attraction" is.
The death of Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef, just 11 years ahead of where I was in July 2022, woke me up and compelled me to live by Dua. And I submitted my 10-year legacy plan by Dua to the Divine.
And fast forward 3 months, and I am a MindValley member in October '22.
Fast forward 2 more months, and I signed up for CLC in Dec '22.
From January to May, I was learning Islamic spiritual coaching from Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef's inheritors - the people he trained.
From February to June, I was doing CLC in parallel while continuing to grow in all areas that called out to my soul since September '22 in serial entrepreneurial ventures such as launching a healthy vending machine business to trying to figure out how to enter real estate investment in a more Islamically-congruent way.
Now, after completing CLC I feel so much more empowered, and confident that I can continue to tap into the power of the Divine towards my success. I overcame a lot of the inner hesitations and limiting beliefs by practicing the easy-to-follow instructions of CLC by having a lot of inner dialogues, challenging my fears, and taming the dragons. The skills I learned in CLC gave me additional tools to bolster the connections between my knowledge and my life.
I feel the boundaries of my life have been expanded. I leveled up immensely in a short amount of time. I feel more confident that I will achieve more than I dare to dream because now I know how to keep designing my destiny with the pen of Dua.
