You Are Not Behind—You Are Right on Time

We live in a world that glorifies speed. Success is measured in overnight achievements, instant results, and the next big milestone. Social media doesn’t help—every scroll is a highlight reel of someone else’s success, making it easy to feel like you’re falling behind. But let me remind you: You are not behind. You are exactly where you are supposed to be.

Your journey is yours—not anyone else’s. Every setback, every delay, and every moment of uncertainty is not a detour—it’s preparation. You are not late; you are learning. You are developing the resilience, wisdom, and experience necessary for the success that’s ahead of you.

We often compare ourselves to others without knowing their full story. The person you see “winning” today may have spent years in the dark, building, failing, and growing. Their journey isn’t your journey. Your timing is different, and that’s okay.

Instead of focusing on where you “should” be, focus on where you are. This season of your life is necessary. Every lesson, every challenge, every slow moment is shaping you for the doors that will open in the future. Trust that what’s meant for you will never pass you by.

So the next time you feel like you’re running behind, remind yourself: You are right on time.
