The Atonement is there to shore up the downside of our systems. Meaning, when we are unable to fix something ourselves with our limited mortal capacity, then the Atonement is what we need to use.
The life is the life to prepare to meet God (Alma 34:32) - in other words, it's the time to perfect ourselves.
And while we will not achieve perfection status here, that doesn't mean we should settle for less. We should be anxiously engaged (Doctrine and Covenants 58:27) in the process of becoming the best we can possibly be.
It's easy for me to get caught up in the idea that if something is too big to overcome, then I should focus my efforts on something else. For example, only focusing on developing and strengthening our genius or VIA strengths (Your genius.md).
However, this ignores the saving and miraculous power of the Atonement (Matthew 26:36-46). We do ourselves and Christ a disservice if we don't take advantage of this gift. We can overcome the insanely large thigns that cannot be overcome by ourselves if we allow Christ to help us.
