I understand that, GMB, but I live my life around "personal best". What others are doing or not doing has no bearing on my goals for myself.

I just did a 10 mile hike which I could not finish, as I have a chronic and rather severe arthritic condition. I could have compared myself to all the other people who finished the hike. Instead, I got home and made a careful analysis, got my expectations in line with my actual abilities, and learned a whole lot about myself. (i.e. I often bite off more than I can chew because my mind wants to go where the rest of me can't. LOL)

I made it 5.2 miles and that was very good for me, since some of it was uphill and that is where I got the severe upper leg pain, which made it almost impossible for me to take a step. My first instinct was to feel like a loser... then I just moved forward and enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment and decided to analyze what I could do better/different next time.

Regret and self recrimination never works well for me.

Sure, there are whales and others winning more than me. I'm just trying to improve my OWN game.
