Your story isn’t a rerun of anybody else’s. God doesn’t do copy and paste.

Comparison only works if lives are interchangeable, and they are not. Someone else’s timeline is not a template you are running behind on, because the pieces you were handed are not the pieces they were handed. Whether or not you share that belief, the same thing holds for any honest life. It is particular, and it does not repeat.

Notice the one person you measure yourself against most often. Name three things about your situation that appear nowhere in their story. Then spend the week on something only you are placed to do.
