Brigham Young once said something to the effect of, "If we are ever to 
live in a kingdom paved with gold, it will be because we have mined the 
the gold, formed bricks of it, and laid it in the streets ourselves."

Whether or not you subscribe to it, I like the Mormon idea that the 
paradise is paradise because we work to take care of it*, and not 
because some nebulous God waved his hands and said so.
