comparison

They say comparison is the thief of joy.

You wonder why you can’t be where they are or why you couldn’t have the start they had. Why can’t you be further along or see more progress towards what you want? Why isn’t your life like theirs?

But you can’t be where they are because you started in a completely different place. You can’t begin the same as them or progress at matching speeds because you are living your own unique life.

You start wherever you are, with anything you want to do — and it’s the perfect place and best time. You go from there and just keep going.

It’s the perfect place and best time because it’s what you have.

Now is the only time you’ll ever get. You are the only person whose life you’ll ever get to live.

Where you are — the place, the time — and who you are, and your consistency, will add up to your own growth chart.

It doesn’t matter if it looks like anyone else’s or not. Because it’s yours. It’s what you’ve got. And it’s just right.

You’ve got this.
