IT’S OKAY TO GO AT YOUR OWN PACE, WHATEVER THAT MAY BE.
You’re not doing yourself a favor when you compare your journey with someone else’s.
Because you are an entirely different person. Your background, personality, past, interests, goals, strengths and weaknesses, etc.
We often compare our beginnings to someone else’s middle.
The truth is that we don’t always see the whole picture.
We don’t see the 7 years they spent working on their craft. We don’t see their meltdowns and bad moments. Sometimes, we don’t get to see them as a whole person.
Life isn’t not one-dimensional, and you are not a one-dimensional person.
Guess what? Neither are they.
They are on their own journey, and you are on yours.
And your paths may cross, but they don’t have to compete.
Whatever pace you’re going at is a good one -- and if you don’t like it, remember that it’s up to you to change it.
