It really is the thief of joy. I don't have much of an issue with it at work. But whenever I'm with family over the holidays, I can't help feeling jealous of everything my brother and sisters have accomplished. They're all wildly successful and I'm just kind of...meh.

It really does stink that we compare without thinking. But I try to remind myself that everyone is at their own pace and their own journey
I just make an effort not to compare myself to others, at least not in an envious sort of way. I have at times worked with people who really knew their stuff, and I've tried to emulate them. I suppose comparisons can be good in some contexts, if it helps to make you better at your work.

I totally agree
My best friend is a Doctor. I didn’t even graduate high school. I’m so proud of her and proud to be her friend. She says the same thing to me, I worked hard and got far on true grit, running a medical clinic, but definetly sometimes ask myself what if I had done what she had done. Then I remember that we are both strong and good women who truly want to help people, and I feel so much better. She makes me want to be better and she says I make her want to be better. I think we often undercut our achievements when actually we are doing pretty great.
