Not Ambitious Enough?

So since I have started my bakery business in 2015, I had all kind of plans. Nak buka branch sana lah, sini lah. But today, all these are no longer the goals I want to achieve.

Today, I’ll be more than happy to just own one bakery – and just maintain that so life won’t be so hectic, not worry about money so much and able to concentrate more on my ibadaah and more time can be spent with the family.

I read this on his Instagram and it hit me. It’s so true. I no longer want the things I craved for 10 years ago. Yes, everyone wants financial freedom, myself included. But to what extent? I no longer want a villa-like home, with modern architecture but homey interior. Ok I’ll be lying if i say I don’t dream about my dream house from time to time, but I’m okay If I don’t get it in this world – because the rewards in Jannah tak dapat dibandingkan dengan apa pun di dunia ni. So a little sacrifice in this world for an eternal happiness in Jannah. I pray that Allah grant me rasa sentiasa bersyukur dan rasa cukup dengan apa yang dah dikurniakan olehNya.

Not ambitious enough? Maybe. But i think i’ll be happier spending more of my time with my loved ones and have less things to worry about. I’ll choose that on any given day.
