Everyone Got Funded, Promoted, or Engaged This Month and I Just Replaced a Broken Belt in My Machine - a story about everyone else is succeeding

When everyone around you seems to be winning, the real question is whether you kept going on your own path — because the battles nobody applauds are often the ones that matter most.

“Those who persevere in faith are the foremost champions of life. Do not compare yourself to others. Just advance, step by step, along your own path.”
