Today marks the 1 month anniversary of my wearing the Hijab. I have mixed emotions about viewing this as an achievement, because it is obligatory but it most certainly has not been easy. I am, however, slowly but gradually gaining more and more peace of mind. I’ve realized peace comes from within. It starts with your mind, and then your actions. Many of us do not take into consideration that we may speak or act before we think, which can often lead to negative results. Don’t underestimate the power of a positive thought or a kind gesture - it can make every bit of the difference in any situation.
