On the journey to becoming your most purposeful self, small wins matter far more than we give them credit for. As Muslim women, we’re often so focused on what’s left undone — the unfinished to-do lists, the goals we haven’t reached yet — that we forget to honour what we have done. In this Deen Diaries entry, we’re talking about why celebrating progress (not perfection) is not just good psychology — it’s deeply Islamic.
It’s easy to get caught up in what’s unfinished on a list or what hasn’t been done at all, because… life happens. But small wins are the foundation of lasting motivation, and honouring them is an act of gratitude.
