In a world that moves fast and feels uncertain, this quote has become an anchor for me.
Because we all have moments when we cannot see the end of the tunnel, or moments when we fall into the trap of comparing our journey to someone else’s.
But we forget that our struggles are not signs of failure; they are catalysts for depth.
Just as roots grow downward before rising upward, pain expands our capacity to hold joy.
So if you find yourself in a difficult season, remember this:
Your starting point is different from anyone else’s.
Your timeline is unique.
Your challenges are the foundation of tomorrow’s strengths.
Leave comparison aside — the illusion that you should be “further ahead”, or that you are stuck.
Wake up each day with even a small act of courage: a step forward anchored in faith and certainty rather than fear and doubt.
Because on the other side of this moment, something greater than you expect is waiting to appear.
