When we focus on our own journey we are able to continue to grow and evolve in a way that makes sense for us.
When we start feeling like someone else is “getting ahead” of us we begin to force outcomes and push agendas.
Anytime we force something to happen, we miss the details that come with the unfolding of the journey.
It’s great to cheer others on in their progress, but it’s possible if they are moving fast they aren’t becoming the person they need to be to sustain the change. It’s also possible that they are.
Either way, trying to hurry your journey in order to keep up with someone else doesn’t make sense because you didn’t start at the same start line.
The tortoise wins the race because he just keeps plugging away.
