In Doctrine and Covenants 58:27, the Lord invites His disciples to be “anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness.”

It’s Not About What You Do, But Why You Do It
The Lord cares more about our motivations than how many tasks we accomplish or how impressive our service is. It’s all about the state of our hearts and the depth of our desire to worship God as an instrument in His hands.
