Since it is unrealistic to ask you not to compare yourself to anything, it's what we do, etc, try using an endogenous objective benchmark. Define the concept of "success" and do what you can to reach it. Meanwhile, your peers can try to reach their own defined success points that have nothing to do with yours. I think the world would be a better place if everyone did this, but it's by no means easy.
