[Lovecraft] How did those cosmic horrors get that powerful?

I mean, the entire point of the series is that lower races (such as us) are puny and insignificant. But wouldn't those other cosmic beings have had to have once been puny and insignificant until ascending?

Nope. They simply began at a higher state than we are. The Yith are the only real example of a race which rose to relative power, but even they pale in comparison to the Great Old Ones and the Elder Things. 

They simply were born better than we can ever hope to achieve.
