Maybe you don't notice your progress because you're constantly raising the bar higher. And that's the curse of high standards because you forget that the version of you right now is the one you once prayed to become. You've grown so much that what used to be a dream now feels normal. That's not failure, that's evolution. The truth is, ambitious people rarely feel done. Every milestone becomes a new starting line. But take a second to zoom out. Look at how far you've come, the habits you've built, the pain you've survived, and the goals you've quietly crushed along the way. You're not stagnant, you're just so focused on leveling up that you've forgotten to celebrate the climb. Keep raising the bar, but learn to recognize your wins too. Gratitude fuels growth, and reflection sharpens direction. You don't need to slow down, just remember to look back long enough to realize you're living in the prayers of your past self. That's what progress really looks like.
