You will always feel shitty if you compare yourself with others. Question is: are you better off personally/professionally compared to yourself from last year/5/10 years ago ? If that answer is Yes, you are good. If not, then yea act on it.
There is ALWAYS someone richer/smarter/successful/accomplished than you. Just the way life is. Imagine if someone worth $50 Million looks at Bill gates and goes, man I wish I could afford what he does. THere is never a limit.
So, start comparing your past to your present/future and make sure you are incrementally creating a better life for yourself and family.
