Your Journey, Your Compass: Stop Comparing Destinations

Your Journey, Your Compass: Stop Comparing Destinations

Our point of departure is often someone else’s arrival, and our own destination may be the starting line for another. On this grand journey called life, each of us holds a unique ticket—a personal destination and a bespoke travel plan. Comparing these is a fruitless endeavour. Your destination is your choice, as is theirs. Your itinerary is yours alone, crafted for your path, just as theirs is designed for theirs.

This metaphor fits our goals perfectly. Each person carries a unique ambition and a personal plan of action. There is no sense in stacking them side by side, breeding either insecurity or arrogance. The true milestone is learning to respect your own path while honouring others' paths.

Consider this: the bike you ride today was likely a goal of your past. The car you aspire to own can be a goal for your future. But does travelling by car make one person superior to another who walks or uses public transport? Of course not. These are merely different modes of transit for other journeys. Everyone has their own way of navigating life, choosing what is suitable and sustainable for them.

The real danger arises when we stop listening to our own inner compass. We must be careful not to set goals based solely on others' expectations or to align with so-called "societal needs blindly." When we do this, we surrender our individuality. We get caught in the rut of societal pressure—a powerful illusion that is often just an echo of voices, not a reflection of actual reality or personal fulfilment.
