Day 17: The Fear of Falling Behind

“You are not late to your own life. Trust the rhythm that moves *you*.” — Walk the Hidden Path

Teaching

You look around and it seems like everyone else is further ahead.

They’re building things. Achieving things. Healing faster. Posting proof of progress.

And there you are — still struggling, still unsure, still healing things that shouldn’t hurt anymore.

But here’s the truth: you are not behind.

There is no universal clock you’re failing to match. There is only the quiet, sacred timing of *your* life. And it doesn’t run on pressure — it runs on presence.

Letting go of comparison is one of the bravest things you’ll do. It allows you to be here — really here — with what’s true for you, not what’s expected of you.

Today, release the race. Lay down the shame of being where you are. Say aloud: 'This is not delay. This is my becoming.' And let that be enough.
