Aye you're right Maggot. Context is important. For instance I often feel my low ambitions are a problem, especially when I see others progressing when I'm not. But at other times I see it as contentedness and being able to "stop and smell the flowers" in life.
Physically, I've got a bit of a bulbous beak and fat tumshie due to lack of exercise and poor diet. OK, chalk lack of self-control up too then!
