Reply to comment by yeetthefleets in [Image] Do not compare yourself with anyone in this world. Everyone progresses in their own way by sylsau

I think the third is still progress though, we’re not always able to give 100% each day and at times we fail, but as long as we get back up and still work towards our goals it can be considered progress, that’s the way I see it at least

My thinking too. Our productivity may be up or down on any given day, but across the week we’re still making progress.

Thats the whole ponbt of the post. That went over original commenters head.

That it can be shitty and feel like a loss, but still way ahead of where you started.

Yeah, I think some people make the mistake of believing progress to be linear. When it’s actually a zigzag back and forth, with an upward trend.

It's like if you weigh yourself daily, some days you’ve lost, some you’ve gained, but over a month the trend is downward (if the goal is weight loss).

Life happens. Some days your "put food on the table/ gas in the tank" job may interfere with your CAREER. Some days your relatives may interfere with social network and who you want to ultimately be.

Setbacks happen, too and all too often. A good part of what makes progress on things usually so challenging. It's not as often a consistent and smooth progress all the way until the end. If there even ever is an "end", so to speak.

Not really. The third one is only progress if they’re able to maintain that position for more than one still. Since they fell so fast last time, getting very full again for them just means they could fall fast again. It’s not really progress until that pattern’s not just repeated.
