Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• All my attention goes to what I’m earning, achieving, and how I’m measuring up, and almost none of it to what kind of person all that striving is quietly turning me into
• I measure myself against people who have more or are further along
• Some of what I’m tracking has quietly become just who I am now
• I measure myself purely by the scoreboard
• My whole sense of whether I’m doing well rides on outcomes I don’t fully control, so when the results are slow or disappointing I feel like I’m getting nowhere
