Decrease the amount of time you spend on comparing yourself to others in your career who are "further along" than you and collecting reasons why they have what you want.
Instead, spend more time thinking about what actions they take consistently in getting there, then do those things.
And don't let your mind trick you into thinking that they got there by some trick or something immoral. Or think that "I just won't do it that way" or "I'd be able to do that if not for...."
In the realm of career success and upward mobility, all the reasons you come up with for why you can't are just bullshit excuses. Focus on what you can take action on.
Don't get me wrong, take action within your set of values. You have your guiding principles and your moral compass. But too often people compare and make up stories that get in the way of their success, before they even have a chance. Make sure you aren't convincing yourself of something that has no power over your career success.
Start comparing to win, stop comparing to lose.
