One's actions can be seen as supplying at once (1) the internal market of one's own needs and (2) the external market of others' needs. Meeting others' needs well makes you a desirable person to others, but you can end up "accomplishing a lot" in others' eyes but not feel satisified or happy. On the other hand, supplying only the internal market ignores the reality, which is that as a social animal relying on a division of labor, most humans need goods & services provided by others, which others would only exchange for goods & services of your own.
It is easy to view prioritizing the external market as the "mature" path to take; in fact this is often encouraged by family, school or work. However, that merely perpetuates unsustainable inefficiency, since a behavior that serves the society may be very costly for a person to perform, because the behavior does not serve one's internal market. The truly "mature" path to take is to stop supplying behavior that is cost-inefficient to oneself, and rather tease out a set of behaviors that both serve others & nourish oneself. Since such behavior is not as costly for the person to perform than for others to perform, this is also the more socially efficient outcome.
