Feeling behind
Do tou feel behind when you compare yourself to people around your age? How do you get out of that?

Dear Beloved,
Many people feel behind at times when they compare themselves to others. However, comparison can be misleading because we often compare our struggles, setbacks, and insecurities to the parts of other people's lives that are most visible to us.
Everyone moves through life at a different pace and faces different circumstances and challenges. When you notice yourself comparing, try to shift your focus back to your own life. Consider how you have grown, what challenges you have overcome, and what small steps you can take toward your own goals. Progress does not have to look the same for everyone.
It can also help to limit comparisons that leave you feeling discouraged and spend more time focusing on activities, relationships, and personal goals that are meaningful to you.
Be compassionate with yourself. Your worth is not determined by how closely your life matches someone else's timeline. Focus on your own growth, one step at a time.
