It's Not a Competition, You Have Your Own Timeline | Life in Progress Podcast

It's not a competition. It just feels like one when everyone's posting their wins at the same time. I spent years quietly measuring myself against people who weren't even running my race. Same age, different assignment. Same industry, different starting point. And still I'd look at where they were and decide I was late. But late compared to what? There's no schedule. Nobody handed us the same map. You're not behind. You're just on your own timeline and it's moving, even on the days it doesn't look like it.
