There’s a strange tension that shows up during real growth
You’re working
You’re learning
You’re still moving forward
But it doesn’t feel like progress
You feel off
Disconnected
A few steps behind where you think you “should” be
Not because you’re lazy
Not because you’ve slipped
But because you’ve grown past your last playbook—and haven’t written the new one yet
That moment is brutal
Because the old rhythm doesn’t work anymore
But the new rhythm hasn’t fully taken shape
You’re not broken
You’re just early
Here’s what most people miss:
The feeling of being behind often means you’re already moving at a higher level
You just haven’t recalibrated your standards, systems, or expectations to match it
And when your system doesn’t match your identity
Everything feels harder than it should
That’s not failure
That’s a signal
You’re not falling off
You’re being invited to realign
Don’t shrink to meet your old momentum
Sit still long enough to meet your next one
