Have your ever felt like you are the only one left behind in this race of mortals? Like you are the only one confused and unsure, wondering if you are even on the right path or not? Here is the truth that no one really says out loud: most people, just like me and you are figuring it out as life goes on.

Filtered Life
We belong to a world that filters everything. People share their victories, highlights the goods, act as an angles. But behind the scenes, they are unsure too. They fall apart sometimes. They question themselves. And they quietly wonder if they are enough or not. In this modern era of social media, these things are becoming or have become a norm.
The fun part is no one starts with all the answers. That confident speaker on the stage? They have been nervous too. That rich friend? They failed more time than you have seen. The people who seem sure of themselves have probably just learned “never to quit,” despite all this uncertainty.
And that’s where it comes down to progress over perfection. You are not supposed to have your whole life sorted out in a single day or a week. It takes time and remember, there is no deadline for growth. No fixed path you have to follow. Life is more about discovering than knowing, more about trying than getting it right every time. It’s work that counts not excuses. Let the death only stop you!
So, if today feels confusing and messy, take a deep breath. Enjoy floating in the middle of nowhere, you are not lost. You are trying, you are learning, you are progressing. Your growth may not seem obvious and that’s okay. Let it be okay.
You are not lacking behind. You are just a brave, beautiful, complicated human.
Today’s challenge is to drop the comparison. Resist the urge to compare yourself to someone else whether it’s online, at school/college, at work or even in your head.
If you feel like doing it. Just do one of the following:
•Compliment someone.
•Unfollow or mute one account that makes you feel low.
•Go for a walk (with or without your phone).
A reminder: We are all in the same maze, some folks are just walking louder.
Peace 🤞🏻🕊
