Spartan, great reply to my goals - this is why i wanted to post them as I am still struggling a little, so your questions have helped me think a little more

Sounds like a goal of what you don't want to be. How about a goal for who YOU want to be?
It's more like, that up to now I feel like I am bettering myself to beat who this person may be. I know thats crazy, but I feel like i need to be better. You are correct, by having a goal that makes me who I want to be, will automatically do this and is a more positive way of thinking. I need to think this one through, as then its measurable.

How do you measure yourself against this goal?
Again, good question, i think as you suggest I need to set sub-goals to measure against in order to work towards the detachment. I feel I am getting there, but like you i soon find out I am not!

I also sense a lot of mind reading there. Who cares what she's doing in the other room? What I want to know is what are you doing in the room you're in...
Yes and no, I try not to, but its always there in the back of my mind. I guess in that respect you are right.
Let me go away and re-address these and respond when I am clearer in my mind.
Thanks for your input - it's helped me see how i need to turn these around to really be about me, me, me.

I feel like I'm in thick forest, I'm slowly drawing a map of the way out, but not sure yet which side of the forest I will emerge.
