As the year is running to an end, I know there are many things you would have loved to accomplish. Perhaps, you set some goals when 2019 started and said, ”I will achieve this goal before the year runs out.”
But when you look back into your diary and compare what you have set for the year, it seems like you are nowhere near the target.
The annoying part is social media. It doesn’t seem to do you any good whenever you log in. You will always see so many success stories. Listen, we simply cannot look at someone else’s mile 50 and compare it to our mile 5. You’re still running the race and it’s not over yet. And for some, you’re just warming up.

It is so sad that whenever we look around at our peers, our colleagues, our idols and we think, “I’m behind in everything.”
Absolutely no, you’re not behind. You are simply doing what’s best for you.
It’s no wonder so many of today’s students are so stressed out.
We grasp so hard at things that often are not even in our control. We live in an imperfect world that continuously tries to appear perfect. That’s just not realistic.
We are missing so many things whenever we compare ourselves. We should never compare to measure success or achievements, rather, we should compare to learn.
So many people are living imaginatively. I am not against anyone setting goals. Of course, set big goals for yourself, and yes get excited about it. But, understand it may take time to get there. And that’s okay.
Is it not funny that we underestimated the things we should have overestimated and overestimated the things we should have underestimated?
As Brendon Burchard says, “the next level opens after your next committed step” and Jay Shetty also said – ”everyone has their own timing”.
You’re not ahead, or behind, you’re where you need to be to learn what you need to learn.
Your ENTIRE story is so much better than just the first and last chapter. Have gratitude for the journey, it’s a beautiful thing. Sometimes the only thing that’s standing between us and our goals, is time.

GOD made you unique. Embrace your uniqueness. Let your gut guide you to the road that will change your world and leave indelible footprints wherever you go.
