Same age, used to have same mindset when I was right out of college.
I now believe, firmly, that being intensively competitive with everyone like that, constantly comparing yourself to others, will greatly increase your chances of failure. People who accomplish truly great things, technology, sports, politics, philosophy, whatever... get so invested in their vision that they pay zero attention to what others are doing except in a practical sense, and they definitely don't measure themselves by other's external standards.
I mean, if I were an investor or something, and I knew that all you really cared about was success for the sake of success, I would get out real quick.
You should do some introspecting, make some tough changes, and get rid of a stifling mindset like that.
