Whose race are you running in?

A meaningful write-up I found on my Linkedin feeds…

Obama retired at 55.

& Trump started at 70.

Melbourne is 3 hours ahead of Perth

But that does not make Perth slow

Someone graduated at the age of 22

But waited 5 years before securing a good job

Someone became a CEO at 25

And died at 50

While another became a CEO at 50,

And lived to 90 years

Someone is still single

While someone else got married

Everyone in this world works based on their time zone

People around you might seem to be ahead of you

& some might seem to be behind you

But everyone is running their own race, in their own time

Do not envy them and do not mock them

They are in their time zone and you are in yours

So relax.

You’re not early

You’re not late

You are very much on time.
