Be grateful. Really really spend time thinking about all you have, your obvious intelligence, skills.

If you had the privilege of studying in good schools that helped mold you, acknowledge how rare that privilege is worldwide.

If you are self-taught,be proud of yourself, many people lack the discipline or motivation.

Once you reach some goals and get some recognition, youll probably start hanging out with people who also have great accomplishments, and invariably some of them will have greater accomplishments than your own. Its a balance between being inspired but not comparing youself to others.

Its similar to how it works with money, you make some, buy a nice house and a BMW x3. Then the guy next door gets an x5, So you get an x6. Then at the golf club you hear some people are only flying on chartered planes, you start doing that and you start meeting people who have their own plane. It never stops.
