Don’t allow the success of others to make you feel like a failure.
You are here today because you worked hard and smart yesterday.
The fact is, you are also doing well.
Don’t be discouraged by your mates’ success. If you continue to measure your success with another person’s success, you might keep seeing a pseudo picture of yourself. That your friends are worth more than you (by your definition of success )does not make you worthless.
The fact is, when we succeed, we feel validated, but the issue is, you cannot accurately rate your success by comparing your results with that of others.
You might think you and that person are on a level playing field but, s/he has undeclared support systems.
Also, things are not always as they appear from the outside, you only see the fruits, you don’t know the root and the soil it’s drawing nutrients from.
Keep working right, it will soon become obvious that you are also not lazy.
Celebrate your wins. Yes, celebrate where you are now and keep working towards where you want to be.
