Is this simply a mental muscle that needs to be trained? I think it's a little weird that you are specifically thinking about willpower in terms of a drive to push beyond others. Willpower can be for all sorts of things. You can accomplish things that aren't necessarily better than someone else is accomplishing. Maybe you just want to do your push-ups every morning or something like that.
