I like your positive view here. Instead of obsessing all that we are not doing or that we think we are doing "wrong", focus on what we are doing right. Tha is a much better attitude and poInt of view to to have on life.
I can get stuck in the trap of comparing myself to other people. And I never come out on top when I do that. I forget that what people show us is not always the whole story, and that those perfect people I envy are really not always as great as they appear.
I even find myself comparing myself while depressed to myself while well and berating myself for not meeting some arbitrary self imposed standards that I am measuring myself against.
As a support group facilitator once said- don't "SHOULD" on yourself.
So long as we are still here and trying, that's what most matters.
Take care.
