Just continue what you have done/ what is your habit in giving your sMerits and then you will be in the top 5 someday.

I don't see the most generous list as a competition, and I'm not striving to be in the top 5 or top anything for ego reasons. I just want to be a good merit source, because I believe in the merit system...

I am of the opinion that you rephrase the above statement. You are already a good merit source, maybe you can say that you just want to continue to be a good merit source or a better merit source.
You are a frequent follower of @DdmrDdmr Bitcointalk Ranking-up pipeline- Those close to their next rank (lacking Merits) and you do excellent work there.

My new year's resolution every year since I've been a merit source has been to be a better one, and I'm going to do my best again this year.

Yea, a consistent and better merit source.
On behalf of lower-ranking members, especially successful 2021 newbies, I congratulate you for a job well done last year. According to your prayer this year will be better.
