Progress can be difficult to measure especially when faced with the ideals of consistency and comparison. If you walk one mile a day for one day then you've walked one mile but if you do that everyday for a month then at the end of the month you've walked 30 miles. Is that same as walking 30 miles in one day? That is an odd and comparative question to pose, here is a follow up to take your thinking further. What if you walked 30 miles a day everyday for 30 days? Then you would have walked 900 miles after one month but isn't that integer just the same additive solution as walking 30 miles in one month only with bigger, "scarier" numerals? Does the larger number make it more of a goal to attain or is just a wall in your way towards what could be larger goals and rewards? If you never walk, if you don't have the strength or experience, then walking one mile might as well be 300. The opposite has truth in it as well, if you're in supreme tip-top shape and walk everyday then walking 10 miles might as well be one. A kitten needs to sleep 22 hours a day in order to thrive and grow but a healthy human is not even able to sleep that many hours in a day, no matter how much they wanted to. We're all different candles that burn at different intensities and in different colors, all should be appreciated but that’s not always the case, especially when appreciation doesn't start at it's own source. Learn to appreciate your flame, learn how to make yourself glow and burn in the ways that you want because whether we like it or not we all lit fam 💯, we didn't light it and we tried to fight it but it's always been burning since the worlds been turning so we might as well learn how to shine in the meantime :P
