They seemed ready. Leo compared himself without meaning to. “I’m not like that,” he thought. “I’m not good enough yet.” The words settled heavy in his chest. He tried to stand taller. To think stronger thoughts. But the feeling stayed. So Leo slowed down. He placed one hand on his chest and noticed his breathing. In. Out. The noise in his head softened. And there it was again. The quiet voice. Not loud. Not comforting in a big way. Just steady. It didn’t say, “You’re amazing.” It didn’t say, “You’re the best.” It said, “You are where you are.” Leo paused. That felt true. He realized something important. Feeling not good enough didn’t mean he was failing. It meant he was growing and noticing the space between where he was and where he wanted to be. Leo took another breath. “I don’t need to rush,” he thought. “I don’t need to prove anything.” The tight feeling loosened. He wasn’t suddenly confident. He wasn’t suddenly fearless. But he felt kinder toward himself. And that changed everything. Leo looked forward again. Not to compare… but to continue. And the quiet voice inside him stayed close. Not pushing him ahead. Just walking with him as he kept growing.
