I know Eid has come and gone, but I didn’t want to miss the chance to send warm wishes your way. I hope you and your loved ones had a peaceful and joyful Eid — even if it felt a little quiet or “boring.”
Funny enough, I’ve heard a lot of people say their Eid felt uneventful this year. But honestly, I think that’s a bit of a hidden blessing. In a world that rarely slows down, having the luxury to feel bored — to pause, rest, and do nothing — is something to be grateful for. Not everyone gets that space. So if your Eid was quiet, maybe that’s exactly what you needed.
💰 How to Get Rich
I recently stumbled upon a video by one of my favourite YouTubers, Ali Abdaal, titled “How to Get Rich” — and let’s just say, it’s not your typical “get rich quick” spiel.
Ali’s central message is strikingly simple (and uncomfortable):
Getting rich often demands an unhealthy level of obsession.
He reflects on his journey from junior doctor to multimillionaire entrepreneur, admitting that success didn’t come from balance — it came from relentless focus. In 2020, almost every moment of his spare time was devoted to consuming content on business, marketing, and financial growth.
He shares the story of a friend who wanted to be rich but wasn’t putting in the time or energy toward that goal — a disconnect he believes leads to internal frustration. If your actions don’t align with your ambitions, it creates a painful gap.
Ali’s takeaway is blunt: If you truly want to be rich, you have to obsess over it — often at the cost of other areas of life. And if you’re not willing to pay that price, maybe wealth isn’t what you’re really after.
Either change what you’re doing — or change what you want.

🛒 Oral Essentials Tongue Cleaner
A quick break from the heavy talk: Over a year ago, we quietly launched a simple product I still use every day — a stainless steel tongue scraper that’s become one of the bestsellers on our Modern Muse store.
It’s minimal, durable, and designed with both function and hygiene in mind. If you haven’t already tried one, give it a go — your breath (and morning routine) will thank you.

Are you obsessed with any goal right now?
We all have dreams — some loud, some quietly tucked away. But if you're truly obsessed with something — whether it’s building a business, mastering a craft, or simply living a more intentional life — it’s worth asking: What am I actually doing about it?
Is your daily routine reflecting that obsession? Is your free time aligned with that goal? If not, maybe it’s time to either recommit — or rethink.
As Ali says, the gap between our ambitions and our actions is often where the discomfort lives.
Thank you for being part of this little community we’re building. Whether you’re here for the dental tips, the random thoughts, or just to stay connected—I'm genuinely grateful.
