Or are you at the perfect pace?

Our pace dictates when we will reach our goals. But what’s the correct pace? Are we moving coherently with the herd? Are we the shepherd leading ahead? Or are we the black sheep stuck behind?

Wanting to know the answer indirectly ruins our perception of the journey and makes us focus on the destination instead.

That’s something to be wary of.

He who likes to walk will reach further than he who likes the destination.

The journey is everything.

Now, for the real reason you clicked on this article. Are you too old and behind, or too young and ahead?

Focusing on the destination only makes you resent the journey.

Don’t be blind.

There is no correct answer. You have people who became successful after leaving McDonald’s and other tedious, low-paying jobs in their 20s, 30s, and even 50s.

Don’t think about where you are on the map; Look at the route ahead.
