The desire tells the rest of us all we need to know.
My wife has a motto (most likely not original) that ties in with "Be all you can be." She says this: "Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best.” I Googled it and found that's a quote from a guy named Tim Duncan. I take it to mean we should always strive to do better, which is something like being all one can be.
EDIT: I continued to look and found the "Good, better, best." quote attributed to St. Jerome:

The phrase originated during World War II. Lexicographer Eric Partridge attributes it to British army intelligence very early in the war (using the plural dative/ablative illegitimis). The phrase was adopted by US Army general "Vinegar" Joe Stillwell as his motto during the war.[1] It was later further popularized in the US by 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater.[2]
The phrase is also used as the first line of one of the extra cod Latin verses added in 1953 to an unofficial school song at Harvard University: Ten Thousand Men of Harvard. This, the most frequently played Fight song of the Harvard Marching Band, is, to some extent, a parody of more solemn school songs like "Fair Harvard thy sons to your Jubilee throng" etc. The first verse goes:
Illegitimum non carborundum;Domine salvum fac.Illegitimum non carborundum;Domine salvum fac.Gaudeamus igitur!Veritas non sequitur?Illegitimum non carborundum—ipso facto![3]The phrase is also used as part of a student painted crest on the bottom floor of Hodge Hall at Princeton Theological Seminary.
A wooden plaque bearing the phrase sits prominently on the desk of U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner.[4]
