Sometimes, it’s so easy to feel like you’re not far enough along. Like you should be doing more, achieving more, or reaching milestones faster. I know this feeling all too well. I’m guilty of it myself—always wanting to be further ahead, to have made more progress, or to have checked more boxes on my never-ending to-do list.
But today, I want to remind you (and myself) of something important: You are right where you need to be.
Life has a way of unfolding exactly as it should, even when it doesn’t feel like it. Every step, every pause, every moment of doubt is part of the journey. It’s easy to get caught up in the comparison game, looking at where others are and feeling like you’re falling behind. But the truth is, your path is uniquely yours. No one else can walk it for you, and no one else can define what “progress” looks like for you.
That doesn’t mean we stop striving or working toward our goals. It’s important to keep dreaming, keep pushing, and keep growing. But along the way, don’t forget to pause and celebrate how far you’ve already come. Every small win, every lesson learned, and every step forward matters.
When I take a step back and reflect, I realize that where I am right now is exactly where I’m meant to be. The lessons I’m learning, the challenges I’m facing, and even the moments of stillness—they’re all shaping me into the person I’m becoming. And the same is true for you.
So, take a deep breath. Be proud of your progress, no matter how big or small. Trust the process, and trust yourself. You’re doing better than you think, and the path ahead will reveal itself in time.
This week, I encourage you to embrace where you are. Celebrate the small wins, honor the quiet moments, and remind yourself that you’re enough—just as you are, right here, right now.
Sending you light, love, and the warm glow of a candle to guide you through the week ahead.
💛 Christiana
