This episode is one of encouragement for anyone who feels “behind” when comparing their life to others. I want to remind you that growth doesn’t have to be visible to be real. You’re not behind.

People will congratulate and celebrate your achievements, often as if it happened quickly, when in reality it took years of commitment and dedication to growth and consistency that no one ever saw or recognized. Invisible progress are the intangibles. How you handle your attitude, commitment, leadership, responses. Success is far more than monetary.
