Forget about trying to "be the change you wish to see in the world." Get over yourself. Understand your limits. The world needs you to be where you are. Stop whining about things that are out of your control. Be good at your job. Take care of the people around you.

Reality
Life is not a movie. Life is not art. Not every moment will be pivotal.
Use your time wisely. Be neither lazy nor restless. Do what is right in front of you, now. Do nothing, if that is what's required. Do the dishes.

Restlessness
What will you do with your time? Is this considered productivity? Do you need something to happen, now?
Or do you take solace in the belief that everything is going as planned
If this is the right path, if you believe in this path, then what do you need to do each day?
Not to feel exasperated or defeated or despondent because your days aren't packed with wise and moral actions. But to get back up when you fail, to celebrate behaving like a human—however imperfectly—and fully embrace the pursuit you've embarked on.
-Marcus Aurelius
