There is a Divine timing for everything in life. There is a plan unfolding that only the Divine holds the full picture of. However, it is important to understand that although everything has a destined time, the significance of your efforts does not diminish. The commitment to giving your best, trusting the process, and embracing each step forward aligns with the concept of ‘Insha’Allah’, which means “If God wills.”

It is a harmonious merging between personal effort and surrender, an attitude that brings resilience, patience, and trust. I wrote my book across seven years. 

Every year, I thought it was ‘time’ to publish, but it turned out not to be so. I had to go through many events, circumstances, moments of death and rebirth, frustration, and various stages of awakening. My planned launch date was different from God’s launch date, which was actually ‘the right’ time in so many ways. 

Every move opens a path to the next. So remember, with every intention, mention ‘Insha’Allah’, ‘if God wills’. Let your mind do the work, and your heart remain in full surrender. Remove the weight of thoughts like “it has to be now” or “it should already be.” All you can do is plan, move, and listen for God’s signs along the way, which may inspire a different timing or another path.
