Of all the jobs, occupations and endeavors, people can do, nothing much amounts to much except those people who do work which directly effects and supports their local community and broader society.
For instance, people who do waste management, plumbing, housing, construction workers, firefighters, teachers, doctors and police officers are professions more valuable directly affecting our lives.
Teachers educating the public, police officers keeping crime off the street, health-checkups at the doctor's and so on.
Your God-willed path in your life should in a way or some ways benefit your local and broader community.
The saying 'you can give a man a fish and feed him for a day or you can teach a man how to fish and feed him for a lifetime'; is the mindset of how you can look at your effectiveness in your community.
Anything you do should have long-term effectiveness; not short-term effectiveness such as volunteering in a community barbecue party (though it's a good deed) that comes and go; but long-term effectiveness such as building a community center, a neighborhood playground and/or park for families has "lasting" value and worth for decades.
So long-term not short-term effectiveness is the main mindset to work with in a community.
