Beyond Hustle, Beyond Fear

Have you ever lost a job, a client, or an opportunity and felt that wave of panic?

What now? What if things don’t work out? What if nothing better comes?

We’ve all been there. But let’s pause for a moment:

Was our rizq ever in our hands to begin with?

We tend to think of our jobs, businesses, and paychecks as the source of our livelihood. In reality? They’re just channels. The Source has always been One.

?? What If Rizq Isn’t a Chase?

We've been told that security comes from hustling harder, that if we run fast enough, we’ll catch abundance.

But if that were true, wouldn’t the hardest workers be the wealthiest?

?? Some work tirelessly yet barely make ends meet.

?? Others work less yet have more!

Not just in wealth, but in time, ease, and fulfillment.

That’s barakah. The unseen multiplier.

Some efforts stretch far beyond their size. Some money carries peace, while some drains us. It’s not just about doing more; it’s about doing things with trust.

?? Fear Shrinks. Trust Expands.

Have you noticed how fear makes us cling?

?? We stay in jobs we hate because we fear we won’t find better.

?? We take on low-paying clients out of fear that nothing else will come.

?? We hold on to business models that drain us because pivoting feels risky.

But trust? Trust expands our world.

?? Fear says: “What if I lose this? What if nothing else comes?”

?? Trust says: “If it’s not meant for me, something better is.”

When we operate from scarcity, we make choices from a place of panic. But when we truly believe our provision is already written, we stop settling. We start moving with calm conviction.

?? The Rizq of Birds

Ever watched birds in the morning?

They don’t sit in their nests, anxious about where their next meal will come from. They go out empty, trusting they’ll return full.

They put in the effort, but they don’t carry the burden of worry.

And yet, how often do we wake up already stressed about things that haven’t even happened yet?

?? Scarcity Is a Mindset, Not a Reality

Think about a time when we lost something we thought we needed, only to be provided for in unexpected ways.

? Maybe losing a job led us to something better.

? Maybe a failed business idea redirected us to a path that actually worked.

? Maybe a “no” forced us to knock on the right door.

Rizq isn’t limited to one paycheck, one client, or one career path. It comes through people and opportunities, but it’s never tied to them.

?? What Would Change If We Let Go?

?? Where am I operating from fear instead of trust?

?? How would I approach work differently if I truly believed my rizq was already written

?? What would I let go of if I knew provision isn’t tied to one paycheck?

Scarcity makes us grasp. Trust makes us receive.

Let’s let go. Move forward. Trust.

Our rizq was never in our hands, it was always coming our way. ??
