brisker: sounds like just the thing a heavy brisker would say. While that is definitely the way one should be shoef (ambition) – to become a full eved Hashem without any need to be yourself (or better put, that being yourself would be an eved Hashem), that is extremely difficult in 2014, and doing that would be detrimental in the long run, and therefore entirely wrong. The eitzah is to try be a better person on the whole but only truly work on one thing at a time.
