Don't compare your chapter 1 to someone else's chapter 20 - Author Unknown.
We all are on a journey. Each step is another growth moment. Each growth moment is moving out of a previous comfort zone, a previous restriction, either self-imposed or imposed by others/society.
3 steps to get to your destination:
Plan
To go on a journey, we need to plan. Where is our holyland and how do we reach it?
Humility
We also need to find ways to stay happy and humble. We can't get depressed that there is more to accomplish or more journeys to take to reach our destination. We also shouldn't feel haughty at how far we’ve come.
Uniqueness
Each of us has our unique journey. Someone said to me this week "you don't need that support system". What do they know about my journey? I know I need the specific support system I have in place. I was jealous of a friend’s success in a specific area until I recognized that I am at a different stage in my journey then he is. We all have a destination. We are all heading toward our "holyland".
We each need to remember not to take on the whole journey at once. Go one step, one stage at a time. Set your goals on the next stop and eventually you will arrive at your holy land.
