We all have an earthly goal. For most of us it is usually based on material possessions and how much we can accumulate of these. However, it is what we do with the material things in order to achieve our heavenly goal is what matters ultimately. Accumulating wealth is not bad if your intentions are to share it with the poor and needy. Having more means you can help more. Sadly, for most, the earthly goal becomes the end instead of the stepping stone towards the heavenly goal. That to my mind is when keeping an eye on the prize is forgotten.
