## Resource

A friend gets the promotion. A cousin closes on a house. You put your phone down, and your own life looks a little smaller than it did five minutes ago. In this episode of 7 Good Minutes, Clyde Lee Dennis looks at why it can feel like everyone else is moving forward while you stay stuck. Part of the sting is simply how comparison works. The bigger issue is the picture itself: who you're really counting when you say "everyone," and how much of other people's lives never reaches you. You'll come away with a more accurate way to see that moment, and a clearer sense of where your own energy is better spent. Follow 7 Good Minutes for new episodes every day.
