Subject: RE: Am I a bad person? graceful_dave - 2007-11-10 8:52 AM Is it wrong to find satisfaction i that? Wrong? No. Shallow? Maybe. Misguided? Probably. Be weary of finding satisfaction in how you compare to other people. Many people will set goals about where they place in their age group or being faster than someone else. The problem is that we can't control someone else, we can only control ourselves. I choose to find goals that pertain to me. Are my times getting faster? Am I running farther? Is it getting easier? Am I getting thinner, leaner, stronger? Do I look different in the mirror? In the end, I do this for me...not for others, not to show off, not be better or worse than anyone else. I do it because I enjoy it. If you get enjoyment from the fact that you can walk up several flights of stairs without a problem, that's one thing. If you get enjoyment from walking up stairs "better" than someone else, just remember that there's someone out there who can walk up stairs better than you. How will that person make you feel? |
