EP 14: Procrastination, Fear, and Their Effects on Our Worship (feat. Sahar Shaikh)

The Deenspiration Podcast

Procrastination.

It’s something we’re all guilty of. Perhaps some of us put of doing the things we need to do because we’re simply just too lazy to do them, whilst other times there are much deeper reasons as to why we hold ourselves back.

What if the real reason we procrastinated was because of FEAR; because instead of simply being lazy, we’re genuinely scared of a particular outcome?

In this episode, we’re joined by Sahar Nawaz Shaikh who dives deep into this notion and shares some tips on how to battle the inner fears that hold us back from truly excelling in life.

Every time you put your head in sujood, a million doors open. Then it’s your choice to walk through them or just stay there.
