Day 22: Comparison Is a Trap
“Their path is not your path — and it never was.”
Teaching
It’s tempting to peek at their social media. To ask mutual friends. To wonder if they’re happier, faster.
But comparison is a trap.
You have your own timeline. Your own rhythm. Your own kind of healing.
Don’t measure your peace against their performance.
Their smile may not tell the truth — and even if it does, your life isn’t a race.
Focus inward. That’s where the real progress lives.
