I taught my students to use the spelling to help them: ❌crossed fingers make an X ( except = no) 🤲 two hands cupped make two C’s. (accept= give me something)

Don't let others define success for you. Let success be what is important to you.

Said another way, your characters should not be fully self-aware of their own shortcomings. Their own irrational behaviors should be a mystery to them. Give them flaws to overcome, then mercilessly assault them with horrendous circumstances until they grow.

This is a great way to increase your understanding of who they are. I like to sketch out their history. To go deeper, ask: What trauma have they been through that impacted them? What limp to their subconscious did they accept when they experienced that trauma?
