Wull, I think the OP itself proves that there are others who feel unhappy about it (life veiwed as a competition). And as my post was about accepting the fact that there are others out in the world who do some things better than You ("You" used in a general way rather than specificially *you*), your post illustrates that you have accepted that, and have moved on, contributing to your happiness (and mine, as well ).

Frickin' Happy Now?!?
