When You Feel Like You Should Be Further Ahead in Life

There is something exhausting about living as though we're constantly trying to catch up with an imagined version of our future selves.

The version who would have achieved more by now, made better decisions, found more certainty, and figured things out a little sooner.

Perhaps that version of ourselves was never a fair measure to begin with.

We can still want things. We can still work towards them. We can still change direction.

But we don't have to spend the time between where we are and where we want to be feeling ashamed of the distance.

Your life can still be moving forward, even when it doesn't look the way you thought it would.
