Alhamdulillah I'm finally going back to work. In the place that I've always wanted to work. University nearby my house, near to my kids school. Alhamdulillah 3x. I'm going to start next week.
I've learned to lower my expectations and I've learned to live with whatever I can. You know that in Oil and Gas industry you always strive to make more money, move to a better place that pays better, everyone seems to be paid higher than you, etc. Well, I've sorted out my priorities. 1. Kids. 2. Family. 3. Job. 4. Salary..
As long as what I earn is enough to pay the bills, for the kids school, courses, helper and I can still save money it's enough. And most of all InsyaAllah it's blessed.
I think Allah was in a way pulled me out of the path that I was so swayed on. Spending money too lavishly, even though I consider it normal compared to my other friends but still when I think about it I did spend money unnecessarily.
I hope the new job is working out for me. Considering it's something I've nv done before. But I'm excited to learn something new. I hope it's blessing for myself and for my family and I hope I'll always remember that my kids and family comes first.
