Well, unfortunately you're right; but for me this is just a reminder of how I've made efforts in metrics that are in my control (with mental health, physical health and overall progress) This was just a way to tell myself this, because when I do see how far i have yet to go, i tend to lose sight of how far I've come.
I know there are others who keep beating themselves up because they couldn't get to where they are as it's easy to forget that you take baby steps to get there when it takes time.
A few things that came to mind:
"Doing stuff isn't how people change. It's what it looks like after you change" - Dr. K
"Even the deceleration of a bad thing, is progress" - CGP Grey, In his video about new years and themes.
