The cure for low self-esteem is not what you think.

90% of you will not read this till the end.

For the 10% who do…

This is one of the most common challenges readers face on their journey to becoming proactive Muslims.

And because it comes from a place of sincerity towards the Deen it’s all the more difficult to address.

It comes about because everyone is approaching it the wrong way… and it hinders practical thinking when it should do the exact opposite.

It’s a type of question readers ask when we’re progressing with becoming proactive (setting goals, focusing on high-value tasks, etc)…

Questions like:

• “But what about nuclear war?”

• “How does this work when Dajjal is here?”

• “I don’t think it’s possible because Jews run the world!”

Readers of this newsletter are working on becoming proactive in all aspects of their lives.

They’re increasing their incomes (in some cases as much as 5x what they were previously earning).

They’re putting into action plans to make hijrah to a Muslim country.

And they’re “releasing the brakes” of their past experiences (and traumas) so they can gain the mental freedom to achieve great things.

But some choose to put on an entirely new brake:

Worrying about end times.

Stop!

Before you think I’m telling you not to be concerned about end times…

I’m absolutely not.

Let me explain:

“Releasing your brakes” is an analogy for the internalised ideas holding you back.

Like trying to hit top speed in a car with the emergency brake on. You’re not going to get very far.

The “brakes” in your life are the negative ideas you hold about yourself and the world around you.

They’re internalised excuses disguised as truths.

Such as believing you’re not smart enough to become a millionaire (plenty of dumb rich people out there).

I’m not saying ditch the car—I’m saying release the brakes!

Just like I’m not saying reject end times knowledge from Quran and Hadith.

I’m suggesting… urging you… to rethink what this knowledge is meant for.

The way people release their brakes is through practices like duas affirmations.

I once read someone say:

“Affirmations are just gentrified duas.”

Affirmations are a way to speak to your subconscious to rewire your brain.

With duas and affirmations you can undo the damage of negative experiences and ideas.

And you can replace them with positive ones like self-belief, confidence and creativity.

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed with what you see on the news that you involuntarily call out to Allah? Or have you told yourself “be calm, be calm” when you were feeling nervous?

Affirmations are an organised way of using self-talk more effectively. Try this:

Right now… say “I like me. I like me. I like me.”

Did you feel a difference in your breathing? Maybe your posture straightened?

Affirmations remind you to change your behaviour much like a parent reminds you to sit up straight. Used correctly… you can gradually turn negative behaviour patterns into positive ones.

How does this relate to questions about end times?

Something can make you think positively or negatively depending on how you approach it.

I think far too many people read end times hadiths for making predictions, debating interpretations and—worst of all—feeding the craving for scaremongering content.

Mix with conspiracy theories and this pill and that pill and you have the perfect recipe for paralysis by analysis, procrastination and all manner of negative emotions—crippling yourself with self inflicted brakes.

I don’t think these hadiths were ever recorded with this purpose.

They are there to tell us to…

PREPARE.

Not fear or debate or try to predict the future.

Prepare… for difficult times.

I don’t think that’s a negative at all.

It’s entirely positive…

We don’t have to guess what’s going to happen. We’ve already been told.

We can visualise the future in terms of our actions… our responsibilities.

End times knowledge provide the blueprint for the type of person we need to become.

And we apply all these brakes worrying about end times instead of using this knowledge to develop ourselves for Muslim Betterment.

So instead of saying:

“How does this work when Dajjal is here?”

We can say:

“I am developing myself and my family to build unshakeable Iman.”

See how it works?

And it’s used by pretty much every successful person in history in one form or another—whether intentionally or not.

The self development industry has been teaching affirmations for at least 100 years to help people attain great success… often at the expense of others.

They won’t know what hit them when proactive Muslims start applying this concept for our goals.

I’m going to give you some practical actions you can take today to start releasing your brakes (members only) below—but first…

If you’re not happy with how your life is progressing…

If you lack confidence in work, relationships and in yourself…

If you feel you’re not reaching your full potential (most people aren’t because of past experiences they don’t even know are affecting them)…

Then reply to this with “brakes” and I’ll send you the details on how to release your brakes 1-on-1 with me that helped people 5x their income, get married after years of self-doubt and more…

How to release your brakes

Low self esteem comes from a combination of two factors:

1. Your past experiences and…

2. How you processed them.

For example… if you were an inquisitive child your parents might have told you to be quiet if they got frustrated with your questions.

Repeated inputs like this and the subsequently negative way in which you process it (whether you realise it or not) builds up over time.

It may seem innocent enough but your subconscious would have become wired to believe you’re not worthy of being heard.

This can affect your confidence to speak, assert yourself or even how well you can learn new skills as an adult.

That time the waiter got your order wrong but you didn’t say anything. Or when you felt too scared to close a client… it all started when you were a kid.

The good news is the same two factors come into play when building high self esteem.
