There's almost always more you can do.
1. Get your home in order, groom yourself, take care of your family.
2. Get more involved in your local community, church, charity, local politics
3. Get some issue awareness and vote without being a useful idiot
Those three categories are all things that most people are more than capable of and simply don't... "I don't have time..." meh, most people have time to spend an hour on social media, hours on youtube or playing games every day. There's plenty of time.
I was in the dating pool about 7 years ago, and one thing I always remembered was how much people would say they wanted a relationship, but wouldn't actually take the time to meet someone during the week after work. I mean, if it's something that matters to you, it's something you want in your life to accomplish you make the time.
You don't reap rewards and accomplishments without effort.
