Great post. Truly Great. I registered just to leave a comment to this post. This hit very close to home, I am my own worst enemy and because I mostly fall short of my own expectations, and because of that, beat myself up constantly. I also constantly compare myself to others and don’t know how to stop. It leaves me very unhappy. I do need to enjoy the ride more, but I think I am afraid to let go.

An awesome follow up post would be some everyday practical exercises on how to forgive yourself and not worry so much about high achievement. Of course that would be saying yes to another achievement obligation for you. :-)
