No two journeys are going to look the same.

Every person walks at a different pace.

Your best is going to look different on different days.

Today, you might be dealing with more stress than yesterday.

You might have gotten less sleep than yesterday.

You might be facing different obstacles than yesterday.

You dont want to push yourself too hard when youre running on fumes.

you better accept that what you are capable of achieving changes based on the hour.

Other days, youre going to fall short of your own expectations.

But you shouldnt swing between being wildly proud of yourself and deeply disappointed in yourself.

Remember thatoneday alone doesnt matter.

The whole picture matters.

Maybe you werent able to move forward today, but overall, have you been moving forward?

Overall, have you been accomplishing goals?

Overall, have you been doing the right thing?

Maybe you have more responsibilities now and have less time to focus on your passions.

Maybe youve gone through health issues and arent able to put in as much work without stopping for breaks.

Go easy on yourself.

Be gentle with your heart.

Life isnt a competition against anyone else oryourself.
