Shivangi's Post

Someone just said "maybe you don't notice your progress because you're always raising your bar" and I think that healed me a little. This hit different because it's so true for ambitious professionals. We achieve something we've been working toward for months, celebrate for maybe five minutes, then immediately shift focus to the next mountain we need to climb. You got the promotion you wanted? Great, now you're worried about the next level. You finally hit that salary target? Cool, now you're comparing yourself to people earning more. You mastered that skill? Perfect, time to stress about the ten other skills you don't have yet. We're so busy chasing the next version of ourselves that we forget to acknowledge how far we've already come. The person you are today would blow the mind of the person you were three years ago, but you can't see it because your standards evolved with your growth. This constant bar-raising is both our superpower and our blind spot. It drives us to achieve more than we ever thought possible, but it also makes us feel like we're never enough, never doing enough, never progressing fast enough. Maybe the real skill isn't just setting higher standards. Maybe it's also learning to pause, look back, and give yourself credit for the distance you've traveled. Your progress is real even if your goals keep moving. Your growth is valid even if you're not where you want to be yet.
