Sometimes I cry when making dua... is that okay?

Asalamu alaikum, brothers and sisters. I’ve been carrying this worry for a while now, and I wanted to ask for your thoughts. I’m working hard toward a big goal in my career-it’s a step-by-step thing that’s going to take time. As the only son, I have a responsibility to my sisters and my elderly father who is unwell and retired. When I make dua, asking Allah to make the path easier and help me achieve this so I can provide for my family, I often end up crying and really pleading with Him. But then I get these doubts: is this goal too focused on this dunya? Could that mean my dua won’t be accepted? That fear really gets to me because, honestly, I feel like I need this to succeed. Past failures, even after putting in so much effort, have left me scared of failing again. I know those negative whispers are from shaitan, but I still wonder… is it alright to cry and beg Allah so earnestly for things we want in this life?
