my coworkers and i were each tasked with individual projects and whoever performed the best would get a promotion. my coworker killed it and got the promotion. i really wish i was as good as her.
i guess you are right. i should try and channel this energy into something positive and become the best that i can, even if my best is not as good as she is.
we cannot compare ourselves to others. it will just make you miserable. there will always be someone who is better in something. you could be better at something that someone else is not.
