I don’t think there is any yid that is one dimensional, and would define themselves solely by their material possessions. When it comes down to the emes of who we are we define ourselves by our middos, how we affect others in a positive way, and what we contribute to our families and communities. Whether it is through chessed or harbotzas Torah, the intellectually honest person has some way contributed.
That being said, I think one of the ways that will inspire us all to be a trendsetter in the Avodas Hashem department is to work on ayin tova, farginning, and truly being b’simcha with what we and others have. It’s contagious and causes people to appreciate everything Hashem has given them. And it will in turn cause Hashem to have an ayin tova towards klal yisroel.
