Success isn't a straight line and that's okay.

Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things but still stuck in the same place? Like success is a train that keeps leaving without you? Yeah, same.

The journey to success isn’t a straight line, it’s more like a messy, winding road with unexpected roadblocks, detours, and the occasional dead-end. And honestly? That’s completely okay.

The problem isn’t just external; sometimes, it’s how we define success in the first place. We’ve grown up in a world of highlight reels, where overnight success stories flood our feeds and make it seem like if you haven’t “made it” by 25, you’re already behind. But the truth? Success isn’t a race but a process.

When you feel stuck, take a moment to pause. Instead of spiralling into frustration, try asking yourself: What’s actually holding me back? Is it fear? Burnout? Comparing yourself to someone else’s timeline? Sometimes, we confuse progress with perfection, thinking we need all the answers before we even start. But growth happens in motion, not in waiting for the perfect moment.

Managing your expectations is just as important as chasing your goals. Small wins matter. Learning new skills, networking, even just showing up consistently these all count. You might not feel like you’re making huge leaps every day, but each step forward is still progress.

So, if you’re feeling lost, know this: no one has it all figured out. Keep going, adjust where needed, and trust that your path is unfolding exactly as it should. Success isn’t about how fast you get there it’s about enjoying the journey along the way.

Stay course and fail forward to become 1% better everyday!
