*RUN YOUR OWN RACE — IN INVESTING 🏃♂️*
In a marathon, everyone starts at the same line — but not everyone finishes at the same time.
Some sprint ahead, some take steady strides, and some pause to catch their breath.
The key isn't speed — it's staying the course.
Investing works the same way.
Rhea, a 28-year-old professional, often felt she was lagging behind.
Her friends talked about multibagger stocks, IPO gains, and overnight profits.
She wondered if she was doing something wrong by simply investing through SIPs in mutual funds.
One day, her mentor told her,
> "You're not late, Rhea. You're just running your own race. Wealth is built with time, not timing."
Those words changed her perspective.
She stopped chasing trends and started focusing on discipline — investing regularly, reviewing goals, and letting compounding do its magic.
Years later, while many of her peers jumped in and out of markets, Rhea's portfolio kept growing — quietly but steadily.
💡 Takeaways:
Don't compare your portfolio with others — compare it with your goals.
The market rewards patience, not panic.
Your pace — consistency, discipline, and time — is your true power.
Remember:
In investing, you don't win by running fast — you win by staying invested.
Run your own race. The finish line is financial freedom, not competition.
