Kids like Olson, Durrant, Johnson, et. al. have to believe they wouldn't have made it anyway or that their mission has blessed them far more than any professional success they could have had.
They have to believe this on an individual basis, because you can always point to those who chose not to go on a mission and seem to have done well not only financially, but also spirituality. I point out three very successful athletes on the church fireside circuit. Young, Ainge and Murphy.
