I was complaining to a therapist once that I always came in 2nd place. It was the story of my life. My buddies were always a second faster or scored more goals. The therapist asked me what was wrong with second place. That it was actually a pretty good achievement and I should pat myself on the back. I had really never thought of it that way before that. I was competing with some very talented athletes and the fact that I could even compete was a big accomplishment. Why do you have to be the best? Maybe it is unrealistic.
