To get back to the professional situation: don't compare skills, talents or accomplishments. If you must compare at all, compare yourself from today to your own self of one year ago. Have you progressed, both personally and professionally? How about mentally? Do you believe you can improve (further)? If no, why not? What is holding back your belief? Oftentimes, the answer to that last question will be something that, in effect, is quite inconsequential and insignificant, silly even. Oftentimes, it is something that has nothing to do with you, such as the success of another person. Oftentimes, what's holding you back is you yourself: a disbelief in your potential.
