A lot of successful people see themselves as pretty average, mostly because they don't view every little accomplishment as a major thing and always push for a little more.

Think of it this way, you're dirt poor, no work, nothing. You get a minimum wage job and get to keep your job, and eat. That job probably feels like a godsend that moment, but in time you will notice the problems, you'll want more, and you'll feel miserable, despite it being so great a little while ago. So you'll look for a new job, you're stable now, and then you might get a better job, and it feels great, but it soon also becomes not enough. That's how you achieve success over time.

The issue is, most people get scared along the way, they feel like they have what they want and they start getting into things that trap them there. You know, when you're alone, or don't have a mortgage, or whatever, you can take that job risk, but when people depend on you and you owe people money, it's a lot harder to do that. Some can still manage it, but it's mostly why people never make it beyond very minor success too, they just have too much stuff to worry about that keeps them trapped. I remember way back when I worked at a grocery store in high school, they loved hiring older dudes with a family, because they knew those guys would bend over backwards to keep their shit job. As for young kids, why would they want those? They have other obligations, and worst that happens is they get fired and move on to something else, they have tons of options, unlike captain paycheck to paycheck over there who's kids will starve and he'll go to prison if he loses that shit job.
