I'm honestly a long way away from becoming a titled player and GM is of course much further away than any chess title.

I'm higher rated than most chess players, but I've also been working on my chess more than most people as well. When I say "more" I am talking about time invested and effort put into it - not just how many years I've been playing (although I have currently been playing for about 6.5 years).

Rather than comparing yourself to others though (like a GM), why not set goals for yourself and compete with improving on the "old you?"

Set a goal of 1000 rating and work towards that, then work on a goal of 1100 and then 1200 and so on and keep going up and up, or work on a non-rating based goal such as studying chess for a certain number of hours a week. Although what is more important than the goals is the purpose behind them: https://www.chess.com/blog/KeSetoKaiba/chess-motivation-through-purpose

No, your rating in rapid is over 1200 and this is better than the global average which is roughly 670:
