I don’t need to feel small, because I am stronger taller more handsome, more muscular and richer and anyone else who is my age… 36… a Little bit more or less? 
Why compare yourself to others? Maybe you should only compare yourself with people who are around your age, or exactly your age?
For example, I am probably the only most successful person I know, who is 36 years old, born in 1988? I should not be comparing myself to other people who differ in age from me? 
In my friend circle, and also from what I know… I don’t know anyone who is at success was me, born in 1988, 36 years old, who has first, the privilege of being self-employed. Once again, the only successful self-employed person I know is my friend Todd Hata, But I think he is 49?
Once again, I don’t care if the person is working at Amazon Facebook Google Apple whatever, and even making $1 million a year in salary… As long as they are not self-employed… They are not successful. 
So my simple filters:
First, are they self-employed or not? If they are not self-employed, they are not successful.
Second:
If self-employed, are they married and have a kid?
Third:
if they have a kid, do they have at least one son? And if so… Are they as strong and powerful as Seneca?
Fourth:
 are they born in 1988, 36 years old? 
I’ve only probably met one person in real life, who is more successful than me… It was only 34 years old, born in 1990… Justin Atlan who also has a beautiful boy son who is about Seneca’s age. But I prefer being me!
Maybe also… A sign of true success is when you no longer see other people as competition, but rather on your own team and squad?
Maybe the best analogy here is think of it like a Diablo party, if you want to kill uber Lilith, maybe the optimal strategy is to have other people join your party, and work together to fight the uber evil boss?
