Insight (209)

For some reason, when most of us think about success, we think of an ideal we need to be or get to.

The only thing is, ideals are usually out of reach.

That’s what makes them ideals though, right? They’re a projection of perfection, but you’ve gotta remember that perfection isn’t the point. Progress is.

When you start comparing who you are or where you’re at to an ideal, it creates a feeling of falling behind. In reality though, you’re right on time.

So, when comparison creeps in, remember it’s not about becoming the ideal or reaching some sort of perfection. It’s not about how far you have to go either. It’s about how far you’ve already come.
