This is such an inspirational post. Sometimes I fell that by comparison we bring into existence insurmountable demons but on the other hand without comparison there seems to be a shortage of parameters to judge progress - generally speaking.

I think a healthy attitude to have is one where we find a balance between creating a healthy competition for us and drawing the line beyond that. Because crossing that line would almost certainly result in self doubt and misery. Of course it is all easier said then done.
