We often look at others’ lives and wonder if we are falling behind. When we see our friends getting jobs, starting businesses, getting married, or becoming successful, we sometimes feel like we’re too slow or not doing enough. But just like every clock ticks at its own speed, every person has their own time zone. What is early for someone might be too soon for you. What looks like delay for you might be the perfect time for your growth. Life isn’t a race where everyone must reach the finish line together.

Imagine a boy who took years to find his passion while his classmates were already settling into careers. At first, he felt lost and even embarrassed. But when he finally discovered what he truly loved—filmmaking—he poured his heart into it. Years later, his work won awards, and people admired his creativity. He wasn’t late; he was just on his own path. If he had rushed into something just to match others, he might have never found his purpose.

So, don’t worry if you’re not where others are. Trust your journey. Your path is special and made just for you. Let it unfold in its own time.
