I think lots of times we have these huge aspirations in Mormon culture of how we're going to make this huge contribution to the good of humanity and to the world. We're encouraged to aim high, but when we don't make it, the disappointment can be bitter.

However, we can do our best to improve the lives of individuals around us and learn to find value in those small things and hope that they contribute meaningfully to God's purposes.
