That depends. Do I like my work that has average pay? Do I have a significant other who cares for me, and a loving family? Is the reason that I have an average paying job, because I maintain a range of open-source software projects that are widely used?
From another angle, am I only in an average paying job because I worked hard, and things just didn't work out, and did they abuse their employees and break the law to make money?
I'm not very competitive. I don't give a toss about what my parents or siblings think of how successful I am about my career. Career-wise, I only really care that I know I put in my best effort week-to-week. I don't compare myself to others based on results; I've lost incredible opportunities genuinely due to bad luck, and stumbled into amazing opportunities based on chance.
