Comparison will kill you.

It's so tempting to look someone else's success and beat yourself up for not reaching the same milestones they did on the same exact timeline. But if you took a moment to peel back the layers of their situation, you'd likely see that they had a much different path, access to different resources, the sheer luck of good timing, or a myriad of other advantages along the way.

And if you took a second moment to examine the layers of your OWN story, you'd be able to see the unique set of advantages, challenges and experiences that all conspired to create the perfect storm that is YOU.

The creativity born from limited resources. The hopefulness of youth, not yet jaded by experience. The strength, grit and determination that can only come from coming through a series of tough situations.

But when you compare, you miss the moments of your journey and deny yourself the full rewards of your story.

THERE IS NO TEMPLATE TO THIS. Let others do them as you continue to do YOU - with your own unique set of tools, on your own timeline, in your own way.
