Comparison is poison. Every minute you spend measuring yourself against someone else is a minute you're not spending building yourself. You don't know their story. You don't know what they sacrificed. You don't know what they're dealing with behind the scenes. All you see is the highlight. And you're comparing it to your reality. Stop looking sideways. Look forward. The only comparison that matters is the one between who you are today and who you were yesterday. That's it. That's the only metric that actually tells you if you're growing. Everything else is distraction. Your lane is your lane. Run it. Stop worrying about who's ahead. Stop celebrating who's behind. Just focus on your pace, your progress, your process. That's the only race that matters. And it's the only one you can actually win.
