Does anybody else get depressed after seeing entrepreneurial successes?

[MJ DeMarco]

The key is to not compare yourself to others but to be the best you can be period.
The key is to not seek others approval or disapproval. The key is to not see others as a benchmark. The key is independence.

Ditto.

The key to happiness is just to be better than you were yesterday. Constant improvement. Kaizen. That's it. The battle is solely with yourself. If you can make a point to be better than yesterday, you will experience accomplishment, fulfillment, and ultimately, find the key to being happy.

The key to unhappiness? Always compare yourself to others. That's a war that's almost always lost because there's always someone better looking, bigger muscles, bigger business, bigger bank account, tighter abs, prettier wife, more successful, blah blah [enter anything here].

When you realize that the war your waging is with yourself, you should be able to see the accomplishments from other people with a greater understanding of the battles that that person fought.

I'm in the gym at 4:30AM and my workouts have never been better. Part of that reason is this: At that hour the gym is packed with the dedicated and the committed. Their fitness level is far beyond mine. When I see them I don't get jealous, I get inspired. I work harder on improving myself because while I've been a morning rat only for several months, these folks are probably been doing it for years. I look at it as what is possible. At the end of the day if I know I have improved on some level, I feel good about myself.

Win the war with yourself and you'll win the war period.
