it was a perfect day, I had woken up feeling good, strong and energetic, did my homeworkout, had my bath and stepped out, at the office I was cool, conversational before stepping out to the field.
later that day I open my Facebook App and first thing I saw was my friend celebrating his 3.5k followers. immediately I remembered mine which was at 1.5k for like forever not interested tho, I haven't been active on Facebook that much either but that day it struck something in me and I began a series of comparisons and thoughts began to flow in my mind that wasn't healthy.
alot happens that day after wards, it wasn't good at all, I ended up depressed, after work in my room I felt so bad about everything all of a sudden, I fought hard to get out of that mood, what started as a normal bright and beautiful day ended up gloomy, sad and depressed for me.
The truth is that life is not a competition, and everyone's journey unfolds at a different pace. Instead of being discouraged by someone else's success, we can choose to learn from their experiences and use them as motivation to improve ourselves. True happiness begins when we appreciate our own progress, celebrate our achievements, and understand that someone else's success does not diminish our worth. The moment we stop competing with other people's lives and start focusing on our own growth, we create room for peace, confidence, and genuine happiness.*
I had to grab this line from the community cause it resonate directly with me and everything I believe in, even the Bible says "they that compared themselves with themselves are not wise, tho I do it alot.

I know things happened and it seems our yesterday is even better than our today, it looked as if instead of progress we are regressing and that alone naturally plungs us into comparison with our Mates, those we once started together with, it's hard to maintain sanity at this point, cause at every now and then life comes with so much pressure; societal pressure, peer pressure, life pressure a need to do this or that at times these are really so overwhelming.
Again the scriptures says Faith and contentment is great gain.
Life is a whole lot, different shades of everything especially if you're just starting out, trying to figure life you as you go, but my believe is that if you stay the course, believe in yourself, know that for sure your time will surely come, comparison is really unhealthy for the human mind because it forces you to want to live a reality that is not yours.
I always tell myself this; that no matter what my time is coming, everyone is running at a different time zone, just like the different countries of the word, while some are going to bed, some are waking up, getting ready to go to work while you're just coming back from work, that is how life rotates and it will continue that way till the end of time, so chill your own time will come.
I must also appreciate @scifimultiverse for always coming up with such mind blowing engaging insightful titles....
thankyou.
