Don't allow yourself to judge your progress on your own journey there is a quote from A Course in MIrcales that says " Put yourself not in charge of this, for you cannot distinguish between advance and retreat. Some of your greatest advances you have judged as failures, and some of your deepest retreats you have evaluated as success.
Instead be willing to acknowledge that you are moving in a direction that is helping you to unveil more of who you are instead of reinforcing who you where told you should be.
