The biggest meaning is derived by elevating oneself socially. It's the reason why people move to cities. Cities are essentially the arenas where the competition happens.
You can say whatever you want , but more and more people are moving to the arenas, and to the extent they stop moving there or an outflow begins...that's because we now have the Internet which is essentially a MegaCity. A huge metropolis , the biggest arena we ever built

I certainly don't feel a need to compete with everyone else all the time. Living somewhat below my means, supported by a decent, but not flashy paycheck in a society with a good safety net means I have no real financial worries, which eliminates a huge potential burden of stress off my shoulders. My job won't revolutionize the world, but I do make a positive difference for people every day. When I am off work, I am off work, my spare time is 100% mine and I spend it doing things that I enjoy, not trying to somehow monetize my hobbies as a "side hustle". I am not lacking for resources to hang out with friends, go on vacation or eat at interesting restaurants. All of this means I am quite content, and especially content that I don't have to feel like I'm in some sort of constant competition with everyone else. It's nice to stop and smell the flowers, you should try it.
