Do you feel late for others? How do you reconcile with your own rhythm?

Do you look around and feel like everyone is moving forward except you? You see your peers finishing projects, enrolling in prestigious universities, succeeding in their exams, while you… are still wondering if you are on the right path. This feeling is painful… but it is not a sign of failure; it is a sign of your awareness and desire to progress.

At Fahmi Stein Platform, we help you realize that everyone has their own pace, and comparison is not a true measure of success.

Why do we feel behind?

1. Constant comparison on social media
2. Family or academic pressures that impose a "perfect timeline" for success
3. Delays in making important decisions or changes
4. Lack of support or clear direction

How to make peace with yourself and stop self-criticism?

1. Acknowledge that your feelings are normal: Feeling behind doesn’t mean you are not hardworking.
2. Redefine success by your own standards: Success doesn’t have to be a certificate now; it might be awareness or inner peace.
3. Monitor your personal progress, not the external one: Compare yourself now to who you were 6 months ago.
4. Make a plan that fits you, not to please everyone: Start where you are, not where others want you to be.
5. Reduce daily exposure to digital comparisons: Keep only what inspires you, not what weakens you.

Speed doesn’t create success… consistency and awareness of what you truly want do.
