We put our time and effort into so many different things in life. Why do we do the things we do?
Let's just be honest... We do what we want to do. Unfortunately, we have a bad habit of wanting all the wrong things. C.S. Lewis wrote, “We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
Jesus put it this way;
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33
"Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it." Luke 17:33
The Apostle Paul added;
Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
So... What do you want?
