Life is a strange race. Some start with shoes, some barefoot. Some are a hundred meters ahead from birth, while others stumble and fall before they can walk. With time, you will understand that the rules of this race are never the same for everyone.
You may see that some learn everything easily, achieve extraordinary results by studying for a few hours the night before the exam. And you do not get the desired results even after working hard day after day.
There will be many people around you whose lives continue on an uninterrupted road. They never have to worry about money, they pay their bills with the credit card given by their parents. And there is no counting how many times you will think before asking for tuition fees once.
Some win this game of life in a day, and some play for years and cannot get their name on the board. Some reach the peak of success by starting a startup, and some fail with ten initiatives and get lost while dragging the burden of loans.
Sometimes it will happen that you will see that someone less skilled, less hardworking than you has got your dream job. Maybe he was in the right place at the right time, maybe he had references, maybe fate was on his side. Thinking about all this, you may get angry with yourself, life will seem unfair.
But the reality is, if you are busy only with comparisons in this competition, you will get nothing but fatigue. Here, someone dreams of owning a car, another wants to exchange that car for something more expensive. People who own a big flat also dream of something bigger.
So what is the solution?
The solution is to set your own lane. This race is not for anyone, but for yourself. Move forward at your own pace, without looking at the lives of others. Life will not always be fair, but you can prepare yourself—you can develop yourself over time.
Because, to truly win, you do not need to reach the destination. You just need to move forward one step at a time. ❤️
