Owning It (#287)

This is your process, this is your journey.

I remind myself of this all too often. My process is my own and there’s no point in comparing. Comparison causes anxiety and we can only worry about the things we CAN control.

Everyone has their own experiences, moments of learning, and challenges. Be grateful for your own.
