It sounds like you're close to mastery, if not there already.

I agree. My skill isn’t carpentry but if I took this comment and applied it to my craft, it would be a master

It can be any craft or anything that you do. Just want to discuss the idea of mastery in general, be it programming, knife sharpening, architectural design, cooking, or whatever it is that you do.

I hope so.
I forgot to mention a comment from another friend of mine when I talked to him regarding this. He said that it doesn't matter if I'm a master or not a master. I'm still going to do things the same way and have the same attitude towards my work one way or the other. So why waste time thinking about this crap? If I do good work, customers will appreciate it and keep coming back; if I do bad work, customers will leave and not use me again. Just focus on doing a good work and the rest will sort itself out.
I think I should take his advice.
