Salaams! Thanks for writing this. I’ve been recently asking Allah for more help and I feel closer to Him. It’s such a great feeling!
I want to offer you a little mindset hack. Instead of thinking that not fully realizing a goal is failing, how about using it as a lesson? Something that needs improvement? Or sometimes we think we failed instead of accepting that we weren’t supposed to do it and it is a lesson to work on it. I found that when I started to do this I was much more patient with myself. I hope this is helpful!
Thank you for your advice. In general, I do improve a lot when I'm not reaching my goal, and I do take it as a lesson. However, accepting that I wasn't supposed to do it and that Allah had another plan for me is completely true, and I do agree with you 100%. I think this anxiety comes from the fact that I believe I achieve very little in general because that's the image of myself the outside world projects to me (being late, taking too much time to do things...).
But naturally, I'm not at lot a control freak. It is the society that I live in that is kind of forcing me to be like this. But Allah is the Greatest, I should mind about the image people have of me, but how Allah is seeing me as His servant.
