You need to realize that there will always be someone stronger, bigger, leaner, richer, etc. than you. The only thing you have is your balls and the will to be better. When you become so immersed in the betterment of yourself, your perspective of the world truly changes.

I’ve been a weightlifter/bodybuilder since I was 14. If I dwelled on all the people that were better than me, I would have quit a long time ago. However, through grit and determination, I’ve got to a place I’m happy with even if I’m not the best. Nonetheless, I strive to be better everyday, because that’s what being a man is all about.

You need to realise that Liverpool deserved to win the Champions league and spurs will come back stronger.

Mind your own business. It’s useful to observe how you compare to other people sometimes, but most of your time should be spent comparing your yesterday’s self with today’s. Be brave, use opportunities and win - or lose, and learn.

For me the value isn't on the sucess but the will of the person who is trying, i don't know but when i listen storys where the person trys something and only fails after fail never sucessfully winning i cry not cause he failed but it's cause i admire his will of never quitting.

It sounds bad but I whenever I have a jealous thought, in my head I tell myself “jealousy is for women”.

100% success rate

Try being less jealous and more aware of what you can learn from the areas where you yourself lack.
