I’m going to be honest with you.

I get jealous of other writers.

Seriously, I do. I see all these stories from writers with thousands of followers and earning more money than me.

It makes me feel weird about myself.

Sure, it’s easy to grow jealous of the writer who has thousands of more followers than me, who makes more money than me, who is successful on the platform.

But here’s the thing:

I am successful too.

And you’re successful too. Think about it.

Our Medium Journey

When you began on Medium, you probably had no idea what you were doing, right?

Don’t worry about it.

I didn’t either.

You learned along the way and continued to better yourself each day. That’s all you can do.

And I’m right along there with you.

We are all on our own Medium journey.
