Jonny Kim - Inferiority inducing figure

Jonny Kim

Jonny Kim is an ex-Navy SEAL, ex Harvard Doctor, and a current NASA astronaut. What a crazy accomplished successful human being. These days I've been doing fine without feeling inferior and quite satisfied with my everyday life until I got to know this guy. I've wanted to become a strong and tough man like Navy SEAL guys. Still, at the same time, I've always wanted to be smart like Ivy League graduates. And he accomplished both, which is exceptionally inspiring but also gives me a strong sense of inferiority.
 
There are always two voices in my head fighting each other. One is an ambitious voice desiring a higher salary, more accomplishments, and more respect from others. The other one that I cultivated from monks' speech is a Hakuna Matata voice saying that "everything is okay," and "you're doing great, don't compare yourself to others." Yesterday I got to know this guy while I was Youtube-surfing, and it awoke my ambitious voice hurriedly.
 
Which voice should win? Which voice should I foster and take care of more? His success is beautiful and fucking inspiring. However, all I can do is believe that there should be my version of success, and it will be as great as Jonny's if I take the high road facing obstacles and overcoming them, not avoiding them.
