1) You are comparing yourself to the highlights reel of many others.
2) You can't run a race whilst looking over your shoulder
Try to change your mindset when hearing of others successes. Instead of thinking 'why not me?' remind yourself you have not seen any of their struggles. When you hear of an idea being successful that is similar to yours, be glad that it proved your thought processes right and validated it for you without effort.
Wouldn't it be more dis-heartening to consistently hear of people similar to you, with similar ideas that did terribly?
All the signs of success are showing you that you are on the right path.
