It doesn't say that, but it seems the implication in the statement is don't worry about environment as a factor in one's spiritual life. Maybe 90% of the time, the environment is just something that we have to learn to deal with, but what about the other 10% of the time?
I can think of several situations I saw in the LC where someone would be dealing with a concerning situation and the 'advice' they would receive was not to worry about the outward situation and just press on. Then eventually they would just lose heart, stop meeting, etc. In so many of these cases, there was the perception that taking an initiative to change one's environment was bad or selfish, when in fact, it was probably exactly what was needed in the situation.
