Natural Talent vs. Hard Work

Does anyone ever get discouraged when they put in weeks and weeks of work and other people who have super inconsistent training and still preform better? It’s so hard for me to let the comparison steal some joy. I work really hard and have put in decent mileage for years, I have friends who put in 15 miles a week and still get better times. How do you keep at it as a runner who isn’t naturally talented ?
