I love and live by this quote at the end of Paris is Burning. by Dorian Corey, one of the founding Mothers of ballroom.

It's a 1 min clip worth hearing her say it, but for those who can't watch:

Everybody wants to make an impression, some mark upon the world. And then you think, you left a mark on the world if you just get through it and a few people remember your name. You don't have to bend the whole world. I think it's better just to enjoy it. Pay your dues, and just enjoy it. If you shoot an arrow and it goes real high, hooray for you.
