“Trust the timing of your life."

Have you ever looked around at your peers, or people online, and felt like everyone else is ahead of you? Like they’ve figured it all out while you’re still trying to find your footing? Well, you're not alone, and more importantly, you’re not behind like you may think you are. 

It’s so easy to compare our lives to others, especially when we’re constantly seeing highlight posts on social media. Someone is getting promoted, someone just bought a house, another couple has just had an extravagant wedding or holiday, and someone else seems to be thriving in their business or personal life. And suddenly, you start to question your own journey. Am I doing enough? Should I be further along? What am I even doing? Why do they have that and I don't?

But here’s the truth: your life is not on the same timeline as anyone else’s. You have your own pace, your own path, and your own purpose. Just because someone else’s life looks different doesn’t mean yours is wrong or lacking. (Now go back and read that again.)

We all succeed in our own time! Some people find their direction early, while others may take a bit longer. Some people hit milestones quickly, others take the scenic route. Both are completely okay, because life isn’t a race, and there’s no finish line you need to sprint toward.

You’re allowed to move slowly. You’re allowed to figure things out as you go. You’re allowed to change your mind, to pause, to rest. And you’re allowed to be proud of where you are, even if it doesn’t look like where someone else is.

So the next time you catch yourself comparing, take a moment to remember that your journey is yours alone and you’re exactly where you need to be.

While we’re on the topic, it’s a good reminder of how important it is to have people around you who cheer you on, no matter what stage of life you’re in ❤️
