Well - in which camp do I belong?

Once again, Rebecca Elvy has made me do some introspection. In her weekly newsletter, she asks her readers, which of the following three camps they're in:
  • For some people, the racket is too much. They settle in for a non-eventful life, rich in routine and devoid of impact.
  • Others lean toward this quiet life, because it seems like less effort… but deep down they wonder what else they could achieve…
  • And a third group desperately want to achieve sometime massive, to make that personal leadership contribution, but they’re not sure where to start or in what domain their efforts should be spent.
Which made me wonder: where do I belong in that picture? And after some contemplation, I found myself to be somewhere between the ones who wonder what else they could achieve, and the ones who desperately want to achieve sometime massive - right now you could say that I am in some sort of hibernation state, where I am perfectly content with being doctor Watson to other people's Sherlock Holmes - the person who does not really do anything out of the ordinary to the table himself, but tries to faithfully bounce the brilliant balls back with a slight twist, when you throw them in my direction; hopefully with the symbiotic result that both of us get inspired.
At least, I have in multiple situations found myself to be inspired by all the brilliant people that I am so fortunate to interact with.
And the good thing - which indicates to me that for now, I am in the exactly right spot: each and every time someone says that I have been able to inspire, it feels like the only thing I really want to do...
