The answer isn't in what you've done, but in who you are... It's worth existing in life to be someone, even if that someone does nothing spectacular, but the existence itself is worth something. All you need to do is be, and be true to yourself, that's worth something. Everything else is just small details. There's a great quote from a book called The Razor's Edge: "...he is not famous... It may be that when his life at last comes to an end he will leave no more trace of his sojourn on earth than a stone thrown into a river leaves on the surface of the water. But it may be that the way of life he has chosen for himself and the peculiar strength and sweetness of his character may have an ever-growing influence over his fellow men so that, long after his death perhaps, it may be realized that there lived in this age a very remarkable creature."
