This does not mean hating your own life. It means valuing things that last forever more than things that are temporary. It means the seed you hold unto does not last forever but the seed you release to the ground last long.
It means loving material things less. It means loving God and valuing other people than yourself.
It means this life is temporary and that everything will disappear no matter how we try to keep it.
It means understanding your life and placing values properly.
It means re-evaluating your life’s purpose and prioritizing appropriately.
It means you cannot eat your cake and still have it. It means be wise and make good decisions today while you can.
If we have limited time here on earth, then we should engage in the things that, after we have long gone, we would be remembered for. This is keeping your life for eternity.
