advice for moms


In today's highly professional system, I feel lost. Three attempts at working in my field and I still haven't felt any satisfaction. How important is the balance between between enjoying what u do and a monotonous work routine?

With time and age and responsibilities, we tend to weigh down more towards a typical job routine which gives the money needed, but robs off precious time and contentment. We spend valuable years working hard to keep up with society, standards and increasing needs of the family.


In the end, after the money is spent do we really have the satisfaction of a life well lived?

The only way to change this hierarchy, as mums, is by bringing a change in our own households. Let's not repeat the same mistake of teaching our children that success comes only with a big bank balance, regardless of whether they are unhappy. Let us teach them to live simple and follow what satisfies their souls. 

It's okay if your child wants to be an artist or an athlete. If they enjoy it, they will excel in it.  

We all can make a change....it starts from a place called home :)

It is so true that a passion paying your bills is more job satisfying. May Allah put barakah in all our endeavours. Ameen

Much needed advice dear sister.

Our youth are facing struggles with parents on this issue. As a young sister said to me recently - there is a BIG gap between us, they want 'x' for me while I want 'z'. And 'z' is my passion and aspirational role.

Loved this article! It's so true if you enjoy it, you'll excel in it. The time and dedication will come naturally versus trying to force yourself into a job you dislike.

I completely agree. Money isn't everything. If you do something you are passionate about you are much more likely to succeed.

Agree. Money isnt everything! But sadly many do not understand this.
