Happy New Week Fam!
"Comparison is the thief of joy". A simple truth we often overlook. When we constantly measure ourselves against others, we rob ourselves of appreciating our own unique journey.
As a freelancer, virtual assistant, customer service professional, and growth enthusiast, I have experienced moments when I hit a milestone in my journey and felt so proud of myself. But then, I would scroll through LinkedIn or see someone in my field who seemed to have it all: clients, bigger projects, more recognition. In those moments, the joy of my achievements would fade as I start to compare.
Over the weekend, I had a moment of reflection: My path is unique.
From improving my skills at Digital witch support community, leading a team of interns on Slack MedxLearn, building quality client relationships, getting familiar with workflow and CRM tools, and putting myself out there by consistently posting on Linkedin. These are my wins.
They are no less significant just because someone else is on a different journey. Their timeline is theirs, and it doesn’t take away from mine.
It’s like a baby learning to walk. They don’t stress about how other babies or even adults are moving ahead. They just focus on taking one step at a time. OR like racing It's always eyes on the track and not on another runner's position.
So here’s my reminder to all of us: Focus on your own growth. Celebrate every win this new week big or small. Let’s not let comparison steal the joy from our achievements. 🌱✨
