Brick Wall

I am hitting a brick wall, and uncertainty. Uncertain about my progress, uncertain about my future, uncertain if I am heading in the right direction, uncertain in so many things........A brick wall in writing, writing is not easy...it is unexpectedly difficult.

I am demotivated, and this put a halt in the progress of my work, as I have been spending this 'precious' time on others instead of the main reason I am here. I need help to keep myself motivated.....................................Do I just realized that this is not my 'cup of tea'? I knew it before, and I came here to learn, but eversince I came here, I have been questioning myself,and it gets harder each day. Ya Allah, help me in this quest for knowledge.............ameen
