Being mediocre is a subjective thing, you're mediocre compared to a standard often imposed on you by society. It tells you that the right way to live is to work and get rich and famous, which is just bullshit ! There is no intrisic standard of living, you define it because it's your life. Your society makes you feel mediocre ? Fuck that ! And if it's not society it's your instinctual urge for dominance and power which makes you feel that way, because you're not one of the alpha male/female. The thing is why don't we stop listening to that instinct and resist it just like we resist our other urges (sex, food,etc..) ?

Human beings are social individuals, they care about each other because it empowers them.
And stop caring about what people thinks about you !

Because you're dead ! You don't have any feelings! You won't worry about whether you left the gas open before dying or anything ! So stop torturing yourself about this, you're thinking this now because at the moment you're alive so you care about being remembered but don't project this need in the times after your death: it's just illogical!

You won't do it because you want to survive just like everyone else! Natural instinct!
The idea of purpose is a subjective one. Purpose means "the reason for which something exists". Now can you tell why we should think this concept has any relevance whatsoever in the reality, since the concept of "reason/cause" is made up ? The need for purpose is to feel better about oneself, period ! Why can't we just acknowledge that things are just because they are ? We want to find causes and reasons for things because we instinctually don't like the unexplained, it scares us because it jeopardises our survival in the way that we cannot anticipate unexplained things. You need to fight this stupid instinct !
