In today’s world, it’s easy to get caught up in the endless scroll of social media. Everywhere you look, someone is celebrating a new job, a perfect vacation, or a life milestone that makes you question where you are in your own journey. But here’s the truth: life is not a competition, and your race is uniquely yours.

Comparing yourself to others is like judging a marathon runner by the sprinter’s clock—it makes no sense. Everyone has a different pace, a different path, and a different purpose. The danger of comparison is that it robs you of gratitude for your progress and blinds you to the beauty of your own growth.

Your timing may not look like theirs, and that’s okay. Some people peak early, others find their stride later in life. What matters most is that you keep showing up, keep moving forward, and honor the season you’re in.

The next time you feel behind, remember: the only person you need to be better than is who you were yesterday. Stay focused, stay faithful, and run your race. Your finish line will come in its perfect time—and it will be worth every step.
