On Page 161 of his book, 12 RULES FOR LIFE AN ANTIDOTE TO CHAOS, Jordan Peterson records his Rule 7: "Pursue what is meaningful (not what is expedient)."
With this rule, Jordan is advising his readers not to waste their lives on trivial pursits--there is too much at stake and each active, committed soldier in God's army makes a significant difference God's winning the war against Satan in this world.
If one is working to serve God, to live as a developing living angel, there is not much more that one could take on spiritually, ethically, materially, socially or intellectually to make a meaningful commitment to advancing all good things in the world, even if such participation in the divine plan, hinders one's social success in the world.
