Someone once asked...
Someone answered with kindness...
You feel left behind only because you are measuring your journey against someone else’s map. Society builds a single highway and tells everyone to run at the same pace. But life is not a track meet; it is a forest. A bamboo shoot spends four years underground growing roots before it shoots up ninety feet in a single season. A rose blooms in spring, while a chrysanthemum waits for autumn. Neither is late. When you look around and see others moving ahead, remember that you are not behind in their race—you are simply early in your own discovery. Stop looking at their clock. Your timing is taking root in ways you cannot yet see.
