"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."
1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV

It is so easy for me to be preoccupied with my present troubles and earthly concerns. I need to keep in mind what my priorities are. The concerns I allow to consume my attention and rob my sleep and health are temporary and not even belonging to me.
Everlasting life is not something that starts after death, but it is happening now. I should not be overwhelmed by my concerns in my place of employment, for example, because the legacy I'm leaving is with my family.
My employer could easily discard whatever I'm building there. I've seen this before. Out with the old and in with the new. My employment is a means to supply my family. I work hard for my employer and sometimes confuse my output and processes and training and mentoring as if they are part of some sort of legacy, when in face the things are like tissues, a disposable tool used up and replaced by another. Even though I do good and industrious work, I'm sure I'll even see that one day. I'm sure it happens to everyone. We see it all the time.
