Living the life a self-realizer is not synonymous with aiming to be a superstar. If that goal remained unmet, that would not make the one that aimed so high but could not reach so high a failure.
Planning to self-realize and working on it consistently, and persisting at it without loss of interest and enthusiasm for decades, are the hallmarks of the successful self-realizer. How far one gets is not that important. One will still do surprisingly well, even though working on superstar status is not the goal, nor should one feel inferior for not getting that high or far.
Superstars may be rare but brilliant and productive self-realizers need not be. We may need to settle for what we can achieve, and be proud of that. It is not something to be ashamed of.
