I have a bowling average. Once upon a time I had batting average and a grade point average. The term doesn't apply many other places, to my way of thinking.
If I were to decipher whether I was above or below average, I'd be measuring my life against other folks', rather than pursuing my personal goals. What you've acquired or accomplished is fine for you, but that's no measuring stick for my life.
Is it satisfying that I've earned what I have, as opposed to having it given to me? Damned betcha!
