God doesn't look at the size of our obedience, he just looks at whether we obey. So whatever that thing is that God is telling you to do, step out and do it because we need that. The world needs whatever it is he's telling you to do, the world needs it or he wouldn't tell you to do it.
So consider: Ask yourself, how can I build the kingdom? And don't think you're disqualified because you are not. That is a lie.
