Every day we are creating and becoming something, whether we realize it or not.
Our everyday decisions and desires create what/who we are, the achievements we reach, the people that we have served and helped, etc. Regardless of our achievements or recognition, we all have tremendous potential and worth in so many ways.
Becoming something great does not mean we have to become the president, be highly recognized in public, make millions of dollars, or come up with technological breakthroughs. We can achieve so much as a good parent, friend, colleague, etc. I will explain why:
When I think of people who are famous in history, I realize credit shouldn't be given to them alone.
Think of the influence that relatives and acquaintances have had on the people we recognize in history. Take the crew that assisted Christopher Columbus, for instance, or the previous coaches of a professional athlete, and you will see that each played a major role in the other person's life. Some of these people didn't get much credit, but that doesn't change their worth or the impact that they had.
The famous artist Vincent Vangogh was seen by others in his day as a less than average painter, but today his paintings and story have touched millions and millions. I believe his brother was one of his only supporters, and the impact that resulted from their relationship is practically incalculable.
Wherever you are now, regardless of how long you have been there, is not where you can be. It is not too late! Our impact on others goes far beyond what we ourselves notice, especially in today's world where technology greatly expands our sphere of influence.
Some things are out of our control, but look at what is in your control. As we know from Van Gogh's brother, even if you put in your best effort and become a positive influence in just one person's life, you will have created more joy than you realize.
You, whoever you are, are a son or daughter of God, and have the potential of greatness in your hands.

Yes, even "ordinary" people do.
