No one idles away his days, not doing any work. When a man is born, work devours him until his last breath on earth. Even people who seem to do nothing, they eat, sleep, and think.
While all people are doing work whether small or big, some people achieve great things that no one else can. They are the ones who have quickly learned out that human life is too short and precious to end, repeating the same things every day.
They have clear goals. That’s why they don’t dissipate even a day. They make efforts to live meaningfully, discerning things they do in general, things they must do, things that are good to do, things that are unnecessary, things that can cause harm, etc. They carry off worthwhile jobs and think worthwhile ideas for their life goals even when they are having hard times in unavoidable situations.
“Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.” Rev 22:12
Your goal is to go to the kingdom of heaven. What have you done today?
