Two days ago, I discovered that I could colour-code my folders in Windows Explorer. I was chuffed! 😎 Such a small thing, but it genuinely delighted me. Then I did what curious people do. I went online to find out when the feature had been introduced. Turns out, it had been around for quite a while and for a brief moment, my delight turned into a different thought: "I'm behind!" But almost as quickly, I caught the thought and reframed it: "So what? I discovered it and its useful." Why do we do that? Why do we sometimes take a perfectly good moment of discovery and turn it into a reason to measure ourselves against someone else's timeline? Someone else may have known something for years. That doesn't make our discovery any less valuable. We don't all learn the same things at the same time. That's ok, we don't have to. Sometimes, the joy is simply in discovering something new, finding it useful, and allowing ourselves to enjoy it. Trying to keep up means letting others set the pace, instead of intentionally curating your own journey. Perhaps we just need to remain curious about where we are. There's still so much to discover!
