A person who is generous, helpful, meek, patient, not envious, does not gossip, brag, or lack respect (cf. 1 Cor 13:4-7), this is a person who builds Heaven on earth. That person may not be noticed, and yet, what he or she does will not be lost because good lasts forever.
God calls us to live lives. He tells us what jobs and lives we should live. He tells us what we will do. For example marriage and jobs. We can pray to god and find out our vocations.
Gods plan and our plan maybe different. God knows what is best. We should listen to him.
