The future is what counts.
Comparing your abilities causes you to doubt your abilities. Once you start looking around at everybody else you will see people with more talent, more abilities, more knowledge, or more experience. The moment you start comparing yourself with other people, you're going to be filled with self-doubt.

It is dumb to compare yourself with other people. You are unique. Be who you are.

And remembering your past failures causes you to doubt your abilities. You don't want to be replaying your regrets over and over.

If you stay focused on your past mistakes, you can't get on with your present, and there will be question marks about your future. Forget the past.

Instead, focus on the future. Set some realistic short, medium, and long term goals. And go for it!
