There will always be someone who is doing "better" than you. There will also be plenty of people who are in a much worse situation, often with very little hope to improve their life.
The important part is happiness. It's easy to look at what others have and define it as failure/success. Some of the most successful people I've known financially were by no means happy. They were perfect in school, were employed by well-known companies, and worked non-stop to be at the top... only to die a year after retirement.
What you've accomplished means nothing if you can't enjoy it.
