When I ever think that I haven't accomplished anything, I just remember that in the type of work I do, most of my peers have either grown up in relative monetary comfort, or have family that helped them in some way.

Whereas I had to start working at 13 in order to pay for my own transportation, not eating lunch so I could pocket my lunch money to buy my own phone, all while my parents were spending everything on drugs and alcohol.

I realize then that, yeah, I've accomplished a lot.
