EP1: Start ≠ Final

Hi love,

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how often we wait for the “right time” to begin — when we feel ready, when things are clearer, when everything finally makes sense.
But sometimes, that waiting never ends.

I used to believe I needed everything figured out before taking the first step. I wanted control — over how things turned out, how people saw me, how close things were to perfect.
But life doesn’t always follow our timing, and I’m slowly learning that’s okay.

One day, when I was overthinking again, my lovely best friend, Yasmin, said something I still hold close:

“Why are you so stressed to take that first step? You don’t control the outcome — you just do your best with what you have right now. Have faith in God; He’ll help you with your rizq. Start small, and make it big later. That’s more valuable than waiting for everything to be perfect.”

Her words softened something in me.
Because she was right — we don’t need to have it all together to start.
We just need to begin with what we have and trust that God will meet us along the way.

Starting doesn’t mean you’re fully ready.
It means you’re brave enough to move anyway.
It’s not about having control — it’s about having faith that even small steps can lead somewhere beautiful.

So start now, even if it’s quiet.
Even if it’s not perfect.
Even if you’re still figuring it out.

The end our start does not equal to how our final look like, cuz It’s just the beginning  and that’s enough.

With love,
Iqa 🤍
