With all the news of instant success in our Instagram world, it’s easy to feel like you are late…no matter where you are in your life. But remember, there are as many startups that fail in two seconds, as succeed in two years. And that person on the fast track to promotion? They could easily have been on the road to failure at their last company. Don’t compare yourself. The only person you can count on for your self-worth is yourself. But a little self-competition can’t hurt to push you toward your goals. As someone once told me, “We all think we should be there already. It’s what makes you keep going.”
