Retired jerseys hang in the rafters. Changed lives walk around for generations.

Honours are static. They sit where they are put and do nothing after the ceremony, whereas a person you affected goes on to affect others, which keeps compounding without you. One is a record of what happened, the other is still happening.

Aim your effort at the second kind, which mostly means spending time on individuals rather than on results. Help one person properly this month instead of impressing a room. The rafters are fine, they are simply not the place where anything continues.
