Your goal should not be to impress or compete with others, your goal should be to inspire and help others.

Mr. Meltzer great question.  First let me say that after trying to impress and compete with others I finally figured out that's not the goal.  The real goal is to inspire and help others.  So for me it was learning the hard way that it's not all about me.  It's all loving God and others.

Agreed that you should try to inspire and help others, no doubt. But don't overlook competition. Oftentimes, competition can drive great inspiration

I literally just started a non profit called Leaving Fútprints, built entirely around helping and positively impacting the youth in my community. One of my ultimate goals is to spread compassion and teach our kids empathy rather than competition.

I agree, inspiring other people is what it’s all about. Just because you, or me, may not be billionaires, (excuse me to those of you who are) does not mean we should not try to inspire everyone around us to be better. In fact, everyone can use a hand up, or a word that gives them hope, because no one has the perfect life. Inspire!

Inspire and help for sure, Impressing and competing will you go you somewhere but in the long run will leave you hollow and empty and alone.

Nietzsche teaches us that life is a dance. Those who can't hear the music are missing out.

The reward of inspiring and helping others ultimately enrich and satisfy far beyond the short/shallow rewards of impression and competition
