Have you ever looked up at the sky and thought, “We all live under the same sky”?
It’s a comforting thought, but if you look closely, you’ll realize something even more beautiful—while we share the same sky, the weather is never the same for all of us.
Somewhere it’s raining. Somewhere the sun is shining. Somewhere it’s cloudy. Somewhere the sky is calm and clear.
And that’s the beauty of Mother Nature.
The same sky holds different weathers, just like life holds different seasons for all of us.
Life Works the Same Way
The same rule applies to our lives too.
You and your friends may share similar dreams, but your journeys will never be identical.
You may look at someone on social media and think, “Wow, they’re doing so well, and I’m stuck here.”
But that’s not how growth should be measured.
What you see online is just one side of their sky.
You don’t always see the clouds, the storms, or the struggles they have weathered.
The Unseen Factors Behind Success
Many people you admire today might have had access to things you didn’t:
-
Maybe their parents were educated and could guide them from the beginning.
-
Maybe they were born in bigger cities with more exposure.
-
Maybe they had better schools, better resources, or simply better luck.
But none of these things make them better than you.
They just had different weather conditions to grow in.
And listen, I’m not saying this to make you feel bad or to build excuses for you.
I’m just saying this so you can stop being so harsh on yourself.
You can achieve those things too—even without all the perks they had.
You absolutely can.
The only difference is, for you, it might take a little more time.
A little more patience.
A little more self-belief.
But trust me—it’s still possible.
Your story might unfold slowly, but it will still be worth telling.
Stop Measuring Your Growth with Someone Else’s Scale
If you plant a seed in the mountains and plant the same seed in the plains, they won’t grow the same way.
The soil, the sunlight, the rain—all these things matter.
You can’t compare your journey with someone else’s without understanding the environment they grew up in.
Your slow growth doesn’t mean you are failing.
It simply means you are growing at your own pace, under your own sky.
The Sky Keeps Changing
Remember this:
Just because it’s raining in your life right now doesn’t mean the sun will never shine for you.
Clouds pass.
Storms settle.
Seasons change.
And life? It keeps moving.
A Thought to Hold Close
Next time you feel left behind, remind yourself:
“We all share the same sky, but our weather is never the same.”
Your time will come.
Your sunshine will come.
Your moment will come.
Be patient with yourself.
Trust your season.
