A Love Letter to Your Own Path

There’s no such thing as a life that’s better than yours.

It’s easy to fall for the illusion — the polished snapshots, the curated moments, the stories others tell with just enough truth to make you wonder why your life feels heavier, slower, or somehow…less.

But here’s the truth: an outside view of a life is no view at all. What we see is never the full picture. Behind every apparent blessing is a story we can’t see — a hardship endured, a perspective gained or a quiet resilience built over time.

Every blessing comes with a cost. Grit is the currency. Every smile, every win, every achievement carries with it an untold chapter of persistence, failure, growth, or deep inner work. You just don’t see it from the outside.

That’s why comparison or envy is not only unfair — it’s a thief of joy and a liar by nature. Because the data is incomplete. Unless you’ve lived someone’s full life — all the layers, heartbreaks, awakenings and silent battles — you cannot compare your story to theirs.

The truth? It’s all even in the grand design. We are all equally loved, equally held, equally human. We are each handed a different set of cards — not better, not worse — just different. The power lies not in the cards themselves but in how we choose to play them.

So, instead of looking outward and getting lost in the soul-sucking spiral of comparison, come back home to yourself. Look at what you do have. Water your garden. Show up for your own life with presence and care. The miracle isn’t in someone else’s highlight reel — it’s in you, right now, breathing, capable and full of untapped potential.

You may not be able to flip your entire life overnight. But step by step, bit by bit, you can begin to shift. You can build. You can heal.

So ask yourself:

What do I desire more of in this lifetime?

How will I make space for that?

What seeds am I willing to plant today?

Then focus lovingly on your garden. Nourish it. Trust it. Shape it with intention and pour your love into it. Because no garden is better than the one you were born into — it’s yours to tend, to grow, to transform.

When you act from gratitude, when you honour the sacredness of your path, something shifts. Life responds. You begin to bloom — not like anyone else, but like you & that’s more than enough.
